Welcome to coastal living at its finest in this top-floor, oceanfront 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in the gated Pajaro Dunes community. With sweeping views stretching up the coastline toward Santa Cruz, this light-filled retreat captures the essence of relaxed seaside living. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen features quartz countertops and opens to a comfortable living space with a cozy fireplace, ideal for unwinding after a day by the ocean. Just beyond, a private oceanfront deck invites you to take in the sights and sounds of the coastline, an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening sunsets. A versatile loft adds flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional lounge space, while in-unit laundry offers everyday convenience. Positioned along miles of pristine shoreline, this location offers endless opportunities for beachcombing, exploring, and taking in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Pajaro Dunes is a private, serene community with gatehouse security, along with tennis and pickleball courts, and abundant wildlife viewing. Well-suited as a second home or income-producing coastal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to own along one of the Central Coast's most special stretches of beach.
