Extensively remodeled in 2019, the home features clean architectural lines, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor/outdoor flow. Sunlit living spaces open to a tranquil deck that is perfect for morning coffee or alfresco work. The versatile lower level is ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Outside, a lush backyard oasis flourishes with fruit trees, fragrant wisteria, and vibrant greenery. Evening sunsets here are pure magic, from fireside gatherings with ocean views to the distant sound of crashing waves. This is a rare find in one of San Diego’s most beloved seaside enclaves."
