Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac between redwoods and the Monterey Bay, the property offers exceptional access to Seascape, world-class surfing, and scenic coastal trails.
The home features a rare combination of a private backyard with a hot tub and entertaining deck, plus an exclusive rooftop deck off the primary suite.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, a beach pebble fireplace, and planned quartz kitchen upgrades provide a contemporary, move-in-ready aesthetic that appeals to modern buyers.
The monthly HOA fee of $700 is significant, which increases the total monthly carrying cost and may impact affordability for some buyers.
As a townhouse built in 1979, the property lacks the total privacy of a detached single-family home and may have shared walls or common area restrictions.
