This darling home has been completely reimagined and remodeled to suit the needs and tastes of today's most discerning families. You are welcomed by a grassy front yard with tasteful landscaping. Enter the front door to a roomy transitional space which leads to the large kitchen that has been appointed with soft-close shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, s/s appliances including microwave drawer, gas range, dishwasher and a Samsung Bespoke fridge which has interchangeable front panels so you can change the color on a whim. A trio of windows over the kitchen sink look out to the ocean, and the sweet Cardiff neighborhood. Off the kitchen are your roomy living and dining areas, which offer clerestory windows to allow light in, but not interrupt furniture placement. French doors lead out to a large back yard with ample grass, a Saltillo patio, and room for a pool/office/shed - whatever suits you! The whole home has warm, beachy wood flooring, custom tile in the bathrooms, fresh paint, new lighting, upgraded plumbing, designer fixtures, closet organizers, new windows and doors, new roof, new electrical panel, new siding, the list goes on... The south side of the home offers a large laundry room with cabinetry, sink, and stacked washer/dryer. Continue to your 3 bedrooms, the auxiliary bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom appointed with modern hex tile, black-washed wood vanity and tub/shower combo. The front bedroom has a large window to enjoy the ocean view. The primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet, built-in ribbed panel headboard, and a large, bright ensuite bathroom with double sinks, 2-person shower and custom glass enclosure. Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a quaint, coveted beach-town with a great mix of old and new. Bike to the beach, or VG's for your morning donut and coffee. Seaside Market, coffee shops, restaurants and the Vulcan pedestrian path are all within minutes of this home. Whether you make this your full time residence, or a pied-à-terre, you will enjoy everything this home and the neighborhood have to offer.
