The gentle sounds of waves crashing awaken you. You step out of bed onto your French Oak wide-plank floors and stretch. Time to freshen up, so you head into your luxurious en-suite bathroom and feel the radiant floor heating warm your feet. You get dressed in your walk-in closet and head to the kitchen for your favorite morning beverage. The natural light, soaring ceilings, and open floor plan greet you. With drink in hand, you open the Fleetwood sliding glass door and step out onto your concrete Lanai and take in the incredible ocean view out towards Mitchells Cove. You gaze at the ocean and contemplate what you will do today: perhaps a stroll on WestCliff, shopping at the local farmers market, hit a yoga class, grab a bite and hit the beach, and finish off with some drinks with friends. The amenities, shopping, dining, and options in this part of the West Side are the best in town.

You arrive at your private driveway after a beautiful Summer day. The warm brick facade and Japanese maple welcome you as you open your mahogany front door. Your jaw drops as you walk inside and are greeted with panoramic ocean views of the magnificent Monterey Bay. You linger in the great room, looking out to Monterey on one side and Santa Cruz on the other. You walk to the kitchen, and the beautiful waterfall island catches your eye. Everything is updated and perfect. You turn on your double oven and start dinner in the chef's kitchen. While you wait, you relax in the family room and get lost looking at the ocean again. Time to freshen up in your luxurious primary suite with soaking tub (and ocean views, of course). Your mind wanders to how blessed you are; your single-level Home has it all. The flag-lot privacy, architectural significance, EV charger and owned solar panels, ocean view deck and BBQ area, natural light, high ceilings, formal dining room, separate office, and enough space for family and guests/ADU.

Build your dream retreat: Close-in country living on the Upper West Side. Prime location and panoramic views, on a level, acre-plus, buildable, close-in rural parcel. The zoning says it all--RR Rural Residential, the best of both worlds. Bordered on the north and west by a Natural Reserve, and southeast on the Highview Drive rural but close-to-town community. This is truly the last end-of-the-road parcel on Highview Drive: a hidden, known-only-to-locals community (bordering the better-known Meder Street rural estates to the south). Panoramic views of wildlands, coastal prairie, ocean, redwoods -- and stunning sunsets. The existing cottage is a recent remodel: 1 bath, 1 bedroom plus sleeping loft. Approximately 700 square feet (expandable to 1200 feet). The woodstove and loft give the space a cozy charm. Use it as a guest house or ADU. (There are also a couple of useful outbuildings on this acre-plus property.) New septic system installed 2006 and sized for 4 bedrooms, anticipating a new large house. Unique is an often overused real estate term, but one that rightly applies to this opportunity. Its a really special property, with one of the West Sides best-kept secret views, in a peaceful, private setting.
