A two-garage offers parking at street level, and two large patios and a covered front porch welcome outdoor entertaining with enchanting views of Aliso Beach and the ocean.

The kitchen retains the home’s cottage vibe while incorporating upgraded stone countertops and stainless steel appliances including a Wolf range. Enjoy casual meals in the ocean-view breakfast nook, or step out to the front patio for morning coffee and hypnotic Pacific vistas. Approximately 1,712 square feet, the open and light residence is richly detailed with hardwood and tile floors, colorful tiles at interior stairs, marble and brass in baths, recessed built-in shelving, solid interior doors and dramatic archways. One bedroom offers the advantage of private outdoor access, and another features a sitting room.
