Walk through the front gate of this contemporary residence, and find a surprisingly spacious home with 2BR/1.5BA on two levels plus a studio in-law unit at the entry level. The layout is excellent with the kitchen, dining area and half bath towards the back and the living area at the front of the home. Relax in the living room with big west-facing windows, a wall of built-in bookshelves, a dry bar and a wood-burning fireplace. Prepare meals for your friends and family in the efficient kitchen and serve it at the breakfast bar or the dining area. Off the kitchen, an attached deck overlooking the garden below is perfect for a grill or to get some fresh air. On the bright and airy top floor are 2 BRs, one facing the serene back yard and the other with a front ocean view balcony and two large closets. Between the two bedrooms is a generous bath with tub and separate stall shower. The studio on the entry level provides a myriad of possibilities - guest room? nanny quarters? rental? This building is equipped with solar panels, EV charger, fiber internet and one-car garage parking. Easy 280 freeway access and walking distance to transit, shopping, restaurants and just a few blocks to the West Portal commercial area, this is an unbeatable location!
