    What's special

    A RARE OPPORTUNITY WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS AND ENDLESS POTENTIAL! Perched high above the surrounding area on a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac, this single-story 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers something that simply cannot be remodeled into a property—a truly spectacular location and view! Custom built in 1972 and lovingly maintained in its original condition, this home is ready for its next chapter and the buyer who sees the incredible possibilities within it. Abundant natural light fills the home, while beautiful exposed beamed ceilings in the living room and family room add architectural character and warmth. The well-designed footprint, 2-car garage and single-level living provide an excellent foundation for a thoughtful renovation. And then there are the views! The elevated setting captures sweeping vistas across multiple communities and toward the mountains to the northeast—and they aren't limited to the backyard. Enjoy the scenery directly from the kitchen, family room and primary bedroom, bringing the outdoors into the spaces where you spend the most time. Even the driveway offers a glimpse toward the ocean beyond the neighborhood. The home's hillside position also captures refreshing breezes that add to the appeal of this special setting. Imagine entertaining, dining, relaxing or simply enjoying the beautiful panoramic scenery from your own private retreat. Located just a few homes from the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property enjoys very little through traffic and a wonderfully quiet setting. This is an exceptional opportunity to create a truly special custom home around a view and location that are already extraordinary.
