Sweeping panoramic views, refreshing ocean breezes, and a private, elevated setting distinguish 1228 Tower Drive from the moment you arrive. This 5-bedroom, 3-bath split-level home sits on a large, usable lot with no HOA and no Mello-Roos. The bright main living level features brand-new flooring, a fireplace, and comfortable flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. A newly installed heating system is another recent improvement. The split-level floor plan provides added flexibility, including a spacious lower-level bonus room suitable for a media room, game room, home gym, art studio, or multi-generational living area. A portion of the garage has also been converted into an additional bedroom and bathroom; permit status is unknown. Outside, the generous lot provides room for gardens, outdoor entertaining, play space, or a future pool while taking advantage of the property's privacy and afternoon breezes. Shopping, dining, schools and parks are nearby, with the coast just a short drive away.
