A gated driveway welcomes you to this beautiful single level estate with panoramic ocean views, just minutes from world famous Moonlight Beach. The penetrable paver courtyard entry featuring a stunning water feature and garden sculptures leads to the 4 year old home that has been meticulously maintained by the original owner. A covered porch frames the house and as you enter and step onto the porcelain plank floor that runs throughout the house, you are immediately impressed with the openness and quality surrounding you. You will be drawn to the kitchen as it is the heart of the home. Top of the line Thermador appliances: built-in 48 inch refrigerator, a 6 burner gas stove top plus griddle, double ovens including steam and convection, microwave, warming drawer and a convenient pot filler will facilitate any chef’s culinary creativity. There is a large walk-in pantry, butler’s kitchen, custom fruitwood cabinets featuring decorative glass uppers and under cabinet lighting, a custom wine and bar center with temperature controlled 92 bottle capacity wine refrigerator. The oversized island, topped with Taj Mahal slab quartzite not only serves as a perfect prepping area, it contains additional storage and is certain to be a gathering spot for entertaining and it seamlessly flows into the adjoining large family room with an impressive stacked stone fireplace, surround sound and spacious casual dining area. You can enjoy the fantastic ocean view from inside, or the wall of La Cantina doors bring the outside in opening onto a spacious covered patio with outdoor kitchen and fireplace. The formal dining room also has access to the tiled side courtyard with water feature and is perfect for entertaining. The luxurious Primary suite has an incredible ocean view, 2 walk-in closets with custom built-ins, a soaking tub as well as a huge shower. Bianco Lasa polished tile grace the shower and floor.

The expansive 17,200 sq ft ocean view lot sets the scene for living the ideal southern California life style. Thoughtfully designed with multiple gathering areas you can enjoy conversations and wine around the gas firepit, chat near the covered outdoor fireplace or get together under the pergola complete with mounted gas heater and retractable sun screen. Why not enjoy a relaxing dip in the spool which has a Baja shelf and spa jets too.
