Description

Become a part of Shelter Cove history by living in one of the original homes on historic Machi Rd. This modified A-frame offers open beams and huge, unobstructed ocean views. These views do not often come on the market. Enjoy the retro styling of the 1970's: suspended staircase, classic wood paneling, orange accents. The newer decking provides great outdoor dining and entertaining possibilities. The two bedrooms and bath are on the main floor, but the upstairs loft provides additional living space...Become a part of Shelter Cove history by living in one of the original homes on historic Machi Rd.
