About This Property

One block from the Cowells stairs & a straight shot through Lighthouse Field to Steamer Lane, this single-level surf retreat offers amazing access to the best of the World Surf Reserve & West Cliff Dr! Completely renovated and updated with modern electrical and plumbing, this turnkey home features an open layout that flows onto an expansive redwood deck with arbor that overlooks a professionally designed and sustainably landscaped backyard. Rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower after Jr. Guards and warm up in the hot tub after a long session at Middle Peak! Extremely private and secluded from the street, the main living space includes a dedicated dining area, while the open concept maximizes the incredible yard. With multiple office spaces, this home is ideal for those looking to work from home, or a busy family that needs cozy studying areas or reading nooks. Updates include full crawl space moisture barrier with sump pumps, an on-demand water heater, and a thoughtfully designed front yard perfect for throwing the ball around after school. Explore the playground and community garden down the street, and then explore the monarch butterfly grove in Lighthouse Field on the way to Steamer Lane Supply or Shrine Coffee for a quick bite - all without leaving the neighborhood!
