Upon arrival, high vaulted ceilings welcome you into the generous living level including the formal living room with fireplace, kitchen, breakfast nook, and dining room. A unique split-level floor plan leads below to the indoor dedicated laundry room, powder bathroom, a covered ocean-view spa patio, and access to the oversized garage (approx. 25' deep x 14' high). Two additional parking spaces have been carved out creating ample parking. Upstairs, a 'teen room' or loft offers potential to create a generous 5th bedroom, office, gym, play room, etc. From the loft, access to the serene hillside where above lies major opportunity: a flattened terrace with spectacular 180* views overlooking the home (currently a storage shed). Think- fully equipped guest house/ADU with separate access or temperature-controlled covered California room with fire pit, TV, couches, or yard, pool, spa, putting green, etc. Access from all levels could be easily created. Upstairs features three generous guest bedrooms with ocean views and a central full bathroom. With all bedrooms on the upper level, the primary suite features a massive ensuite bathroom, and direct ocean views as well. Off the living level, access to the ocean-view corner deck creates a great outdoor living space. Off the front of the house through the large picture window double-entry doors, a generous deck is the perfect place to unwind and catch the ever-changing, year-round sunsets. This is a major value-add opportunity for the discerning buyer with creative foresight.
