Property Description

Charming Silver Strand Beach House on an Oversized Lot Experience the laid-back coastal lifestyle in this charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath beach home, ideally located just moments from the sand, Channel Islands Harbor, and favorite local eateries. Situated on a rare lot and a half, this property offers something especially hard to find at the beach--generous outdoor space and great parking. The spacious gated front courtyard creates your own private outdoor retreat with plenty of room for BBQs, entertaining, relaxing in the ocean air, or giving the pups room to play. With significantly more outdoor space than many beach homes, there's room to truly enjoy Southern California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Inside, the first level features a private primary suite complete with its own fireplace and en-suite bath. Upstairs, original wood floors add warmth and character, while two additional bedrooms--including one with its own half bath--and a full guest bath provide plenty of flexibility. The bright living area flows into the dining nook and out to the front deck, where you can enjoy ocean breezes, beautiful sunsets, and a peek-a-boo view of Channel Islands Harbor. Leave the car at home and walk to the sand, the harbor, neighborhood eateries, and all the things that make Silver Strand special. With its quaint beach-town atmosphere and welcoming hometown feel, this is the kind of neighborhood where life moves a little slower and every day can feel like vacation. Whether you're looking for a full-time beach home, weekend getaway, or income-producing property, this one offers a rare combination of extra outdoor space, excellent parking, walkability, and coastal charm. Silver Strand is calling--come live like you're on vacation.
