Description

We dare you to stand on this deck at sunset and not start mentally packing your current place. Orange and pink sky, ocean peeks, birds coasting by. Inside, a reverse floor plan puts all the living spaces where the views are. High ceilings and natural light fill an open living area that maximizes every inch. Kitchen, dining, and indoor outdoor living all working together the way they should. New floors, fresh exterior paint, all new appliances, fixtures, lighting, and a two car garage. A private beach path is just minutes away, with sand under your feet in ten. Mornings start with coffee on the deck, ocean air, and zero reason to rush. Marianne's, Manuel's, Castelli's, Venus Pie Trap, Botanical Soap Shop, Parish, and Companion are all close enough to become dangerous habits. Stop scrolling. Start packing.

"The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "

"I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
