Flooded with natural light through large custom Anderson picture windows, the home perfectly frames the breathtaking coastal landscape, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings amplify the spacious feel, while an elegant cherry wood wet bar with marble countertops and french doors invite effortless entertaining. Step outside onto expansive Trex decks on each floor, including a panoramic view private deck off the master suite-ideal for savoring morning coffee or evening sunsets. Enjoy direct private beach access with endless ocean whitewater and miles of soft sand framed by hills of the entire bay area. Carefully maintained with many custom upgrades including a newer 2 year old roof, fresh paint, new skylight, fireplace, ductless AC/heat unit, copper flashing, and more! This home blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Aptly named for the spectacular sunsets that drench the interiors with golden hues, this property offers a rare coastal lifestyle where every day feels like a vacation. Homes rarely come available in this beautiful community!
