The vibe in the home is California casual with a definitive beach feel, with such features as terra cotta floor tiles and a handcrafted driftwood table.

The sunken living room opens to the adjoining dining room and kitchen for an open-concept flow.

A minimalist hearth fireplace is the central focus of the living room. The room also boasts sliding glass doors opening to the outdoor deck and beach beyond.

The dining room flows into the living room area of the two-storey home, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. In addition, there’s a detached, studio-style bedroom and adjoining bathroom that’s separated from the main house by an interior courtyard.

The all-white galley-style kitchen features plenty of counter space, with windows flooding the space with natural light.

While there’s no island or seating, the kitchen is an open, inviting space, with dual cooktops, stacked dual oven and double-door refrigerator.

This wind-protected interior courtyard features an area set aside for outdoor relaxation, along with al fresco dining.

The cozy courtyard offers a casual space for outdoor dining.

The oceanfront home backs right onto the beach, with covered and uncovered areas offering a choice of sun or shade.

The property offers a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

While the beach appears to be a bit on the rocky side, there’s no denying the panoramic vista is utterly spectacular.

With blonde hardwood floors and exposed wood ceilings, the second-storey master suite offers a stunning ocean view, with a private deck accessed via glass sliders.

The private deck off the master bedroom overlooks the beach.

The master bathroom, one of three in the home, is adjacent to the master bedroom. It has a sunken soaker tub within a glassed-in shower enclosure.

This spacious guest bedroom is located in a separate building, separated from the main house by the inner courtyard, offering extra privacy for houseguests.

Another of the home’s bedrooms, located on the main level, has sliding glass doors, offering access to the outdoor courtyard.

Another bedroom, located on the second floor of the main house, features built-in shelving and shuttered windows.
