This residence is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living and the rear grounds serve as a true extension of the home. An expansive outdoor pavilion anchors the space, complete with kitchen, bar, and big-screen TV, and creates the ultimate setting for year-round gatherings, game days, and glorious ocean-view sunsets. A resort-style pool and spa with classic water features, multiple sunning and entertaining areas and stone walkways complete the outdoor environment...PLUS, an adjacent Casita offers added flexibility for guests or extended stays.
