Coastal Real Estate and Lifestyles

This home was on Tuesday Tour last week for the first time - as were several new listings.  I usually try to see all of them, but that day I selected 2 or 3 that I really wanted to see in the Half Moon Bay area, and then focused the rest of my touring on Pacifica and Daly City for clients.

24 Ventura St., Half Moon Bay, CA was one of the ones I previewed. 

This new construction home definitely has curb appeal - to me it looks like a combination craftsman/California ranch, fitting in perfectly with the beach community feel.  There are other homes on this street in west-side Miramar that have a different look and are obviously older.  That is a very common finding here on the Coastside and contributes to the uniqueness and “non-cookie-cutter ambiance” (made that up) of several local neighborhoods.  To check out what the street looks like, you can go to “Home Search“, select the property, and go to the Maps tab.  There you will see the Google Hybrid View..

and the Google Street View…

What I most remember when I walked in was the very open and welcoming feeling and the very special master suite.  The 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, large open living area and island kitchen flow nicely over approximately 2700 square feet on a level lot.  The builder put in beautiful finishes and materials including walnut hardwood floors that bring a stunning richness and warmth to someone’s future home.  The main living area has a beautiful tile (easy maintenance) flooring.  No stairs wanted?…no problem…and there’s very easy access from the garage to the kitchen.  Oh, it’s also got a built-in vacuum and radiant heat.  Picture this home with the landscaping a bit more mature and this home will be a true oasis, yet only a short distance to the Coastal Trail, the Bach, Ebb Tide Cafe on the beach, and much more - not to mention it’s overall great location.

If you’re in the area, stop by this Sunday 9/14 or next Sunday 9/21 from 1-4 and we can chat in this beautiful setting.  Or we don’t have to chat, you could just walk through.  I promise I won’t make you chat.  Bring a friend or neighbor who may be contemplating a move-up to a larger home but with the ease of a single level.  Special thanks to Listing Agent, Deborah Cozzolino, for offering me the opportunity to hold open this beautiful home and showcase it for you here.
