Large home in the wonderful Rio del Mar neighborhood. Close to the beach & Seascape Golf Club. The elegant living room is adjacent to the entry alcove. Its view of the neighborhood is through large windows that soak in lots of daylight. Two bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom are on the far side of the home. A third bedroom with olive green walls and a full retro bathroom is near the kitchen. The bright, cheerful kitchen is one of a kind, with freshly refinished oak floors and lovely chop block counters. Through a hidden stairway, go down to the second family room, huge retro-style laundry room & 1/2 bathroom, and a 4th bedroom with a portal in the wall that provides your feline friend access to the custom catio right outside. Keep exploring, and you will find the continuous current swimming pool. Don't miss the huge storage room, workshop, and photography dark room way down under the home. Each room downstairs has a door to the backyard. This 15k sq/ft terraced lot is extra-large and has tremendous possibilities. A little peek of the ocean can be seen from the upstairs deck that looks over the backyard. The garage is also finished and ready for use! Every room in the home is heated and cooled with air conditioning. Solar panels and Tesla batteries keep the lights on!
