This Rio del Mar beach house is upgraded inside & out. The single-level floor plan includes a living/dining area w/oak floors, a Bio-Flame ethanol fireplace in a tile wall, crown molding, recessed lighting, & built-in shelves & cabinets. The modern gourmet kitchen is full of sleek Bosch appliances, surrounded by custom maple cabinets & granite counters. A kitchen island & wine refrigerator/bar area are perfect for entertaining. Outside, a flagstone patio wraps around the back of the house, w/plenty of room for outdoor seating either under the shaded gazebo, out in the sunshine, or around a firepit. The master suite has exposed beams, a cozy fireplace, & a hot tub just outside sliding glass doors. As a weekend getaway w/lucky guests or a comfortable place to live the dream of spending every day at the beach, this home has it all: steps away from the shore, plenty of space for entertaining in style, & the comforts of a well-designed renovation w/thoughtful touches & high-quality materials.
