At 1,625 square feet for nearly $3.8M, the property carries a very high price-per-square-foot premium, which may be a deterrent for buyers seeking more interior volume.

There aren't many places where your morning routine includes checking for dolphins. Pelicans glide down the coastline, sea lions pop up offshore & on the right day you can spot clean surf lines before your coffee cools. Inside, the house has a clean, modern feel that lets the ocean do most of the talking. The kitchen & living room open together toward the water, so most of life ends up happening right there, cooking dinner, catching up with friends, or just watching the horizon change colors as the sun drops. Big windows keep the ocean in view no matter where youre sitting & radiant heat beneath the engineered hardwood floors keeps everything comfortable, even on those cooler coastal days. Out back, the yard was designed to actually be used. Turf, fencing & a fire pit make it the natural gathering place once the sun goes down & the sound of the waves carry up the bluff. Life here includes riding bikes along East Cliff, strolling down to the beach with a board under your arm, coffee nearby & evenings at the neighborhood park. And for the practical side of oceanfront living, the home shares a maintained seawall with Coastal Commission approval for ongoing upkeep. It's the kind of place people come to unplug & quietly end up staying for decades.
