About This Home
Wake up to sweeping ocean and mountain views in this one-of-a-kind coastal retreat in Rio Del Mar. A modern "glass house in the trees" elevated among the canopy. Tall windows blur the line between indoors and out, creating a light-filled sanctuary that feels both open and private. Just minutes from pristine beaches, scenic trails, golf, and local dining, this home offers a rare balance of seclusion and convenience. The expansive, open concept first floor connects kitchen, wet bar, dining, and living areas into one fluid space. Sunlight pours in through oversized windows, framing the coastline on one side and green hills on the other, as an ever-changing natural backdrop. Generous front and back decks extend the living space outdoors, perfect for morning coffee above the treetops or sunset gatherings with panoramic views. A detached bonus room with ocean views offers a peaceful escape. Ideal as a guest suite, home office, or art studio. Just in front, a small private garden creates a charming outdoor nook, perfect for relaxing or a dog to enjoy. Whether you're seeking a tranquil coastal haven or an inspiring live/work environment, this home delivers a rare blend of architectural character, natural beauty, and versatility.
