About This Home

Contemporary coastal living meets elevated privacy in this Shell Beach residence, offering sweeping Pacific Ocean views and direct access to the natural beauty that defines the Central Coast lifestyle. Set on a generous 5,000+ sq. ft. lot with just over 1,800 sq. ft. of living space, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is designed for comfort, light, and connection to its surroundings. Positioned along a hillside street adjacent to open space, the property captures expansive ocean vistas, arguably some of the strongest view corridors on the block, creating a daily backdrop of coastline, sunsets, and coastal horizon. Inside, the layout reflects a contemporary coastal design sensibility with open, functional living spaces that flow naturally toward the view. The home balances everyday livability with a setting that feels elevated and retreat-like, offering a rare combination of privacy and proximity to the coast. The location is a standout: just minutes from Shell Beach cliffs, sandy beaches, and scenic coastal access points, while also close to hiking trails, outdoor recreation, and the Pismo Preserve. Downtown Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and San Luis Obispo are all within easy reach, placing dining, shopping, and entertainment just a short drive away. This is a property that captures the essence of Central Coast living ocean views, outdoor access, and a quiet residential setting that still keeps you connected to everything that matters.
