Description

Azure seas can be seen from this home on Benson Ave, located just a couple blocks from the ocean and the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve on the west side of Hwy 1 in Cambria. The property is composed of a Four lot parcel, which makes it feel private and spacious, yet still be in a neighborhood of homes. In the upside-down floor plan, all major living areas and the primary suite are on the second floor, enhancing the ocean and pine tree views. The focal point of the amply sized living area is a charming wall of windows facing west and the long window seat/bench below it. Just imagine lazy afternoons, sun streaming in, and a good book in your lap while also gazing at the sea. At one end of the living room is the fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinetry, the other end is a spacious dining area. From here, a sliding glass door leads to the ocean view deck and stairs to the yard below. The kitchen is composed of granite counters, numerous cabinets and tile floor. A guest bathroom is also located nearby. The primary suite is also located upstairs, making it wonderfully accessible for day to day living. It has a fireplace, ocean views, tall ceilings and a walk-in closet with organizers. Downstairs at entry level are two lovely guest bedrooms, a full bathroom and bamboo floor entry. The two car garage includes the laundry facilities and a laundry sink. This home has a magical feeling of light, views, and spaciousness.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 98% nearby.

    "My parents bought in Cambria in 1977 and I love this neighborhood! You are so close to the ocean, to Cambria's West Village, to Moonstone Beach boardwalk and the Fiscalini Ranch which is a great place to walk, hike or bike! Beautiful ocean and coastal views. Lovely climate!"

    "We have stayed here, vacationed here, and love it. Maybe couples in the 30's need a bigger night life, but beyond that, it's a beautiful place to live and enjoy life. Get away from it all. The best restaurants, shopping, farmer's market, car shows, wineries, NICE people because they love where they live. Seacllift Estates is a beautiful area in Cambria......open, private, and the ocean right there. Didn't know how to rate traffic above, because there is NO TRAFFIC..... "

    "the natural beauty in Cambria is truly stunning! it is a very protected environment with regard to it's wilderness, including the oceans and shorelines. it is an incredibly family friendly and community oriented. both east and west villiages, as well as Moonstone beach, are the perfect definition of quaint and lovely. and residents are welcoming to new people who move there, as long as they are conscious to be respectful of both people and the natural environment. it's good for singles who don't want a lot of nightlife and choose a more quiet, artistic, farmer's market, and charming town to call home. we lived there and loved it. we even got married there. i worked in Cambria as the managing innkeeper for a historic bed and breakfast. we are moving back as soon as we can."
