Walk to beach access and some of the best surf spots on the California coast Privates Beach, Pleasure Point, and Capitola Village all within walking distance. The approved plans deliver a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,220 SF home with an open floor plan, ground floor primary suite, and an upper-level ADU a flexible 558 SF space ideal as a guest suite, home office, or private retreat plus a 3-car garage. Sited on an 11,600 SF oceanfront parcel with significant coastal bluff protections in place, including a concrete seawall and rip-rap revetment at the base of the bluff.
