Property Description
Ownership includes the distinctive designation of a landmark on the National Registration of Historic Places.
Perched high above the coastline, this exquisite 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from every room and nearly 12-foot ceilings that elevate both light and scale. Originally two units thoughtfully combined, the floor plan provides exceptional flexibility—currently configured as a one-bedroom plus den, with the ability to re-separate the space into two private living areas or improve the two bedroom scenario.

A secondary suite—previously used as an efficiency—includes a built-in breakfast bar, kitchenette, walk-in closet, Bathroom with charming Deco tile work, pedestal sink & Sloane commode, making it ideal for flexible lifestyle, extended living, or potential income (buyer to verify).

HOA dues include all utilities—gas, electricity, heat, hot water, cable TV, and internet—providing meaningful monthly value.
Owners benefit from significant Mills Act property tax savings, transferred to the buyer at closing.
Community amenities include a grand ballroom with catering kitchen, ocean-view sundeck, BBQ areas, community guest suite, hidden garden with fountain and serenity. Parking on site is separately managed by the HOA.
