windows and glass doors that join the home with the outdoors
are both ample features of the residence. Finally, there's a
walk street patio—larger than most and green landscaped for
privacy. With its natural stone floor and a modern firepit, it's a
perfect place for gathering in the evening or welcoming friends
for a beach day. This home is a plum spot for the latter, since a
minutes' walk brings you to sand and sea, and surfing at 17th
