Welcome to that beach house you have been dreaming about! Whether full time or part time, Surfside Colony is quickly becoming that "not so secret" gem. If you are looking for that beachy vibe where walks on the sand, surfing, amazing sunsets and a wonderful sense of community is part of your every day life, this is it! Gracing three levels, this home has a nice sense of space for all! Utilize the downstairs bedroom as it is, for that home office everyone is craving or a terrific play/hangout room. The second level offers you nice back bay views while cooking or relaxing in the living area and also has a second bedroom and bathroom. The third floor is it's own primary suite with the bonus being a spacious deck which to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, conversations with friends and family or simply your own private getaway. Surfside Colony residents enjoy an active community, direct access to Sunset Beach where family owned businesses get to know your name and easy access to the 405/22 freeways. Surfside is a terrific location between LA and the OC and a wonderful place to call HOME.
