About this home

An extraordinary opportunity to own a true beachfront property in the exclusive guard-gated community of Beach Road—one of the few enclaves in California offering a private beach. This 4-bedroom, 4-bath home sits directly on the sand with panoramic ocean views from the main living areas on both levels. A rare original seawall protects a wide sandy beach directly in front of the property, paired with an expansive patio—together creating the epitome of outdoor coastal living that few homes on Beach Road can rival. Thoughtfully designed for turn-key enjoyment, the home features Carrara marble waterfall countertops, Miele and Bosch appliances, teak and shiplap accents, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas extend to a generous beachfront patio—perfect for hosting, lounging, or simply soaking in the views. Upstairs, a spacious great room opens to a private balcony, while the rooftop deck, framed by a Mediterranean garden, offers yet another serene setting for entertaining or unwinding. Two bedrooms feature ensuite baths, with two bedrooms located on each level. Select bathrooms retain beautifully preserved vintage 1950s tile, adding character and charm. Recent upgrades include new air conditioning and a fully updated electrical system. The property also includes two single-car garages and two additional parking spaces on the railroad side of the road. This home holds an active short-term rental (STR) permit, and a new owner may apply to continue use as a STR investment property (subject to city approval). Furnishings are negotiable. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded beachfront home in one of Southern California’s only private beach communities—offering unmatched outdoor space, protected sand frontage, and an unbeatable oceanfront lifestyle.

Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1950, this property has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations that bring it to a 'virtually new' standard. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, Carrara marble waterfall countertops, and high-end Miele and Bosch appliances, all indicative of a recent, top-tier remodel. Flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms is modern LVP/wood-look, and lighting is recessed. Key systems like air conditioning and the electrical system have been fully updated. While 'select bathrooms retain beautifully preserved vintage 1950s tile,' this is presented as a charming, deliberate design choice rather than deferred maintenance, and at least one bathroom (Image 8) shows a fully modern renovation with a backlit mirror and contemporary tiling. The overall condition is turn-key, with no immediate repairs or updates required, aligning with the 'Excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively renovated home.
Pros & Cons

Prime Beachfront Location & Exclusive Community: Situated directly on the sand within the highly exclusive, guard-gated Beach Road community, offering a rare private beach access.
Exceptional Ocean Views & Multiple Outdoor Spaces: Boasts panoramic ocean views from both levels, complemented by a generous beachfront patio and a serene rooftop deck with a Mediterranean garden.
Protected Sandy Beach Frontage: Features a rare original seawall that protects a wide sandy beach directly in front of the property, providing unmatched outdoor coastal living.
Turn-Key & Modern Upgrades: Thoughtfully upgraded with high-end finishes like Carrara marble, Miele/Bosch appliances, and recent system improvements including new AC and updated electrical.
Income-Generating Potential: Holds an active short-term rental (STR) permit, presenting a significant investment opportunity for a new owner.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Built in 1950, with some bathrooms retaining original 1950s tile, which may not align with all buyers' preferences for fully contemporary design.
STR Permit Contingency: The continuation of the short-term rental permit is subject to a new owner's application and city approval, not a guaranteed transfer.
Off-Property Parking: While there are two single-car garages, two additional parking spaces are located on the 'railroad side of the road,' potentially less convenient than on-property parking.
