Upstairs, the eastward sitting room with tongue and groove juniper woodwork showcases an unprecedented view of a 2 mile stretch of ocean! A common area wet bar perfect for morning juice and coffee leads to the master suite with private deck and double doors opening to a luxurious whirlpool tub flanked by windows. Another bedroom currently being used as an office houses a whole house stereo system allowing music to float throughout the home. Laundry room and 4th bedroom complete this level.

    "The school is not properly set up for academics. Since Covid, it seems the teachers are less face teaching and more computer teaching. Sports- if you were not born here then your child will have a difficult time making teams and fitting in. It’s Daddy’s ball for sure with all sports and clubs. Drugs are in the schools so teach your child what to be careful with. "

    "It's really lovely here. Neighbors are friendly, yards and homes are well maintained, gated community is very safe and allows only residents and renters in. Off the beaten path so there is very little traffic or noise. Views are out of this world. Heard only 3 sirens in 3 years! There are curmudgeons everywhere. ;)"
