Enter through double doors into a gracious foyer of this mid-century modern retreat, opening to an inviting living room with walls of windows overlooking the open canyon and expansive backyard. A designated bar and atrium adjoins the living room, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The living room has beamed ceilings and is anchored by a beautiful stone fireplace. To the left of the foyer is the first spacious primary suite, once used as the owner's office, complete with an attached bath and sliding doors leading to a private outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The open dining room and family room feature a raised stone hearth, custom built-ins, and a sit-down counter that opens to the kitchen, creating an easy flow for everyday living and gatherings. The home offers two secondary bedrooms that share a hall bath, along with a second private and generously sized primary suite with high ceilings, a step-down sitting area that enjoys a wall of windows, and its own fireplace. This spacious primary suite also includes a generous walk-in closet and a paneled bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub. Decks are accessible from the primary suite, living room, and family room, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living, a peek of ocean, and peaceful views of the surrounding open canyon. Ideally located on a restful, quiet cul-de-sac, the property is surrounded by a large, lushly landscaped yard, offering exceptional privacy and a tranquil setting.
