Bedroom and office locations were thoughtfully designed to create private spaces for family and/or guests. The ground level features a bedroom suite, laundry, and 2.5 car garage; the second level features the public spaces plus an office/den with a Murphy bed, and the 3rd level features the primary bdrm and the 3rd bdrm suite. You will be blown away by the ocean views via the primary suite picture windows! Also featuring a work desk niche, three very spacious closets, a cheerful bath with tub, separate shower and double vanities, the primary suite makes for a fabulous retreat at the end of a busy day. Adding to the appeal of this residence a few of the design elements include engineered wood floors, fresh white wainscoting complimenting the foyer, stairways and hallway, two gas fireplaces (one in the great room and one in the primary suite), and Anderson windows throughout. Systems include 3 HVAC units (two of which are new), irrigation system, elevator serving all three floors. Construction is block on the 1st floor and frame on floors 2 and 3. The low maintenance siding, by "Nichiha", is cement/fiber board and the trim, PVC, none of which will rot. IMPORTANT: The tax records place the original construction in 1990. In 2015-2016 the residence was nearly completely demolished but for the foundation and the framework including the roof structure to make way for an updated, modern residence. The full renovation using the 1990 footprint was desirable because, by retaining the grandfathered-in foundation, this home was able to be much larger than it would have been if the home was completely demolished and rebuilt on a new smaller foundation.
