PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

• A single-story beach bungalow turned into a two-story coastal retreat with complex permitting and planning.

• Full whole-home custom build. California rules keep the buildable area close to the original footprint, so the square footage was gained vertically rather than horizontally.

• Opportunity to create an ADU added extra square footage: 666 sq ft, fully independent, with its own kitchen, bedroom, living room, bath, deck, and street-level entrance.

• Half the upper floor is the owners' suite: master bedroom with ocean views, master closet, a master bath built to feel like their own spa, and a master retreat with a private gym.

• The rest of the upper floor holds two further bedrooms, one set up as an office, plus a full bath and laundry.

• The ground floor is open and integrated with the outside: kitchen, dining, and family room running into the porch, which faces the ocean views, with the pool beyond.

• A ground-floor bedroom with its own full bath, so the house works for family

• Built with long-term systems: two-car garage with a dedicated work area, EV charger, solar battery
