Living room and kitchen include french doors that lead directly onto a very large private covered patio with plenty of room for outdoor living. Outdoor table and bench included on patio. Off one end of the covered patio is an enclosed concrete and soil area and the other side leads to enclosed front yard private for the main house accessed by a wood ramp. A gate from the driveway also accesses the enclosed front yard area with tumbled stone pavers surrounded by a rock wall and partial bamboo fencing. The living room and dining room are separated by a large arch which then leads to the kitchen. Kitchen includes stainless steel gas stove, white Bosch dishwasher, stainless fridge, and high gloss kitchen cabinets. Countertops are tile and wood. Large ceiling fan in kitchen moves the air nicely with french doors opening to the covered patio and screened back door. The back screened door leads to a path to the large communal backyard. One bedroom and bathroom on main level of house. Bathroom is tile with the smallest Japanese soaking tub and shower. Large mirrors make the bathroom appear bigger. Small, but efficient as you step into the tub for showering. Outside the bathroom in a hallway is a small makeup area with built in drawers. The main level bedroom includes a large wardrobe, ceiling fan, and windows that create nice light. Bedroom is hardwood floor. Upstairs bedroom is formed from a converted attic. As you walk up the stairs there is a closet opposite the laundry room and built in shelving leading to the upstairs bedroom. The upstairs bedroom is accessed by stairs. The loft platform is large enough for a queen size mattress and features a skylight directly above it. A small window in the room opens outward allowing a nice breeze and a peekaboo view of the ocean. The upstairs bedroom has a small foot print due to the loft platform and built out shelving. Great for a small office and/or guest room. The laundry room includes European size Bosch front loading washer and dryer. Cabinets above the washer and dryer and closet area across from laundry area provide additional storage. Additional communal washer and dryer shared between 3 studios may be accessed for larger loads of laundry if necessary. The laundry room wall and the right side of the upstairs second bedroom share a wall with the Skylight studio, but sound dampening panels between the spaces provides privacy. Each space on the property is funky, unique, and private. Xeriscaping provides a relaxed feeling and the bamboo fencing around each living space on the property gives a sense of privacy. Out the back door and up a few stairs leads to the extremely large and amazing communal backyard with plenty of lounging areas. Communal backyard shared with all tenants on property and includes gardening area, lounge seating, large sunshade with outdoor table and benches, small gas bbq, charcoal bbq, and fire pit. No central air/heat, but a ceiling fan in kitchen, screened front and back doors, and French doors off living room and kitchen allow for cool breeze and an electric heater provided during cooler times. Added amenities include an outdoor camping shower at front of property surrounded by bamboo fencing for beach rinse off. One reserved parking space in the driveway.
