Not to miss is a sprawling motor court
that greets you after entering the gated prop-
erty, where a 4-car garage awaits. "There's
a whole side where you can play basketball
and other games," says the agent of this
smooth, open space. "This past Fourth of
July they taped the area off to have a pick-
leball tournament."
Wandering around you may encounter
a stone pathway that leads to one of the
highlights of the property: an upper deck
that juts over the bluff and ocean. "You
can entertain at the table for twelve,"
notes Poach, "or just sit and relax." One
can choose the latter anytime, and espe-
cially at sunrise. "Because the property is
south-facing, it has an incredible sunrise
that comes up in the east," she points out.
Sitting out on this special place at sunrise,
when the glow of bright yellow and orange
seems to rise from the sea, you feel like the
only person in the world.
You can capture equally mesmerizing
vistas in the structure directly beneath the
deck—a light-filled studio with another
walk-out deck. This unique clifftop hide-
away has functioned as an office, and is
currently home to a gym where you can
work out and stretch over epic ocean views.
"When this property was built," the agent
explains, "this, and the pool, were grand-
fathered in. So if someone were to buy a
property like this today, you couldn't create
this, which makes it special."
Amid the leisure and beauty of the
property is the convenience of its location.
Schools, groceries and dining spots are all
less than 10 minutes by car. But at this
address there's so much to do. "It's like your
own little Terrenea," says the agent. A few
doors away a private gate opens with access
to the shoreline, where you can explore
tide pools and birdwatch, or paddle out
on a kayak or standup paddleboard. From
your front door, the number of neighboring
blufftop trails to explore seems countless,
and you can always head to award-win-
ning Terranea Resort for golf, dining and
spa treatments. "To get a cliffside property
that's over an acre and completely remod-
eled is extremely rare," states Poach. "And
it's special in that it's close to the Montes-
sori School, PV High School and Lunada
Bay Elementary. It's just kind of a perfect
fit for a family."
