This “lock & go” detached beach house built in 2020 only 500 feet from Windansea Beach with whitewater ocean views, a guest apartment, and exceptional parking is the perfect primary home, pied-à-terre, or investment property. HOA does not restrict vacation rentals. A street-to-street lot invites sunlight throughout and takes advantage of ocean views from the front patio, dining room, two decks flanking the great room, primary suite’s bed wall, and (of course) the panoramic roof deck. Expansive home boasts approx. 3,369 sqft of total interior space comprised of 2,469 sqft of living space (advertised) plus a bonus finished basement of approx. 900 sqft that includes a bathroom. A creative 3 bed/4.5 bath design allows you to enjoy the entire property as a single home or as two separate legal dwellings; the ground floor ensuite is a self-sufficient studio with its own entrance, kitchen, laundry, and 1-car garage garage, presenting opportunities for hosting, help, rental income, and more! Parking at the beach is no problem with 2 single car garages visible from the rear, and the main home’s garage with CAR ELEVATOR that descends to an approx. 900 sqft bonus basement (in addition to advertised sqft) that creates space for 2 more cars and a flex room (movie/office/guest) that has a full bathroom. Windansea is an iconic beach in La Jolla’s coveted Beach Barber Tract neighborhood, a premium coastal community with lovely shops, restaurants, and a high quality grocery store just blocks away.
