UNIQUE OCEANFRONT CONDO ~ This single-level gem offers unobstructed whitewater views stretching from the San Simeon Bluffs to the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse. The remodeled, open-concept design features custom walnut cabinetry, soapstone countertops, two ensuite primary bedrooms and a convenient half-bath. Enjoy expansive ocean views through large windows, complimented by wood-beamed ceilings, tile floors, and a cozy gas fireplace. Ample storage throughout and bull nose corners, a stackable laundry closet, an alarm system and a new roof. The flagstone patio is protected from the prevailing wind, and invites you to relax and watch the surfing and kite surfers. Two attractive patios off the central hallway are shared spaces but hardly used, and one is completely protected from wind. Experience the beauty of seasonal marine life, including dolphins, seals, occasional elephant seals, and whales, along with breathtaking sunsets. The gorgeous State Park bluff trail is just 30 yards from your door. A pristine, accessible sandy beach welcomes beachcombers to also explore the tide pools. Observe the pelicans and seagulls gracefully glide by at eye level from your condo while waves crash on the sea rocks. Cambria is conveniently two miles south, just the other side of San Simeon State Park, and Big Sur beckons you north. Enjoy coastal living or a second home retreat in this climate refuge, sheltered from the inland heat and smoke, on the most beautiful and protected California coast.
