This house is ready to go as a family home you can grow into or keep as an active vacation rental with a proven track record. Either way it is sold turn key with all the furnishings, linens and kitchen items included. This well thought out house added photovoltaic solar to step up the efficiency of ownership. The reversed floor plan takes full advantage of the view with wall-to-wall windows in the living room. There you can watch the ever-changing ocean throughout the day and depending on the season a front row seat to migrating whales. Starting from the top down, the spacious upper level encompasses the living room, dining and kitchen and large separate den off the living room. The half bath is located on the middle landing of the stair case. Down to the entry level you will find the primary bedroom and bath as well as bedroom number two and three. They share a large bathroom in hall. Separated from the bedrooms is an entry hallway lined with glass that views into the enclosed hot tub patio. Another door leads into the garage. When you are not at the house enjoying its comforts, The Sea Ranch offers miles of walking trails, three recreation centers all with pools, saunas, tennis or pickleball courts.
