THE HOUSE

The property consists of a 3,150 sf home on a roughly 1.25 acre sloping lot with a breathtaking 270 degree, whitewater view of the ocean. It is private and secluded, yet only 6 minutes south of The Crossroads at Rio Road and 4 minutes south of Point Lobos State Reserve. The home contains 4 BRs/3 Baths. There are two master bedrooms, with one at each end of the house, and two other bedrooms and an additional bathroom on the first floor. The home also includes as part of the oversized second floor master suite: his and her offices with ocean views; master coffee station; oversized bath with whirlpool tub and separate steam shower; lighted makeup table; and separate his and her walk-in closets with built in dressers and more than ample hanging and storage spaces.
A spacious, ocean view deck wraps around the living room and acts an uninterrupted extension of the living area with a disappearing, floor to ceiling Fleetwood window wall. The living room has a fireplace with gas and wood burning surrounded by antique Portuguese blue and white tiles, and a sandblasted wooden mantle salvaged from the 2010 renovation and repurposed for positive wind/water fengshui. In addition to the main deck, there is a second walk-out deck off the first floor master bedroom, and a widow's walk balcony along the face of the second floor master suite and offices. The house has hardwood, red oak floors, and is fully sprinklered throughout. There is a heated two car garage and infrastructure for a propane generator.
The original, 1600 sf ranch style home was constructed in the early 1970's and had three owners. It was purchased and renovated in 2010 by the present owner, who built the 1400 sf expansion in 2017, adding the master suite, family room, laundry room and new garage, and extensive outdoor gardens.

THE GROUNDS

The site is approximately 1/8 mile above Highway 1, and approximately 1/4 mile from Ocean, just north of Mal Paso Creek Bridge. The driveway and walking paths are finished with Connecticut Bluestone slate. The current owner is a locally well-known cook specializing in Mediterranean dishes. Thus, there is a large herb garden with two raised beds. Massive, mature flowering plantings cover the entire property, with carefully maintained beds along the base of the house, window boxes and trellises. In 2017, a yoga and meditation garden was added with a pergola and views of the sea. As part of the Homeowners' Association, the home has access to a private beach located below Yankee Point.
