Incredible opportunity just steps from the sand, this Sunset Beach home captures the essence of coastal living with its spacious floor plan, and rare opportunities. Make this home your own and enjoy a private backyard space in addition to a 3 car detached garage! The open-concept main level flows effortlessly for everyday comfort and entertaining, with a kitchen that offers generous cabinet and counter space, a convenient breakfast bar, and direct connection to both the dining and living areas. A den just off the kitchen adds versatility-ideal as a home office, playroom, or potential 4th bedroom. Sliding doors open to a private backyard retreat with a pergola, perfect for dining al fresco or enjoying ocean breezes in the shade. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, two large closets, and an en suite bath. A spacious secondary bath with vaulted ceilings serves the additional bedrooms. One of this property's standout features is the expansive deck with partial ocean and bay views (needs some TLC) -an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. Even more rare, a 3-car detached garage offers endless possibilities: extra parking, abundant storage, or potential to create an ADU or build above (buyer to verify). Additional highlights include dual pane windows, copper plumbing, and thoughtful upgrades that add to the home's comfort and value. All of this in a prime location close to shopping, dining, and vibrant nightlife. This is your chance to own a coastal retreat with both charm and opportunity-whether as a full-time residence, a vacation escape, or an investment in one of Southern California's most sought-after beach communities.
