About 1198 Jefferson Way
Tucked away at the top of a private street in upper Bluebird Canyon, this secluded soft contemporary home with panoramic hillside and ocean views is waiting for someone who likes peace and quiet. Far enough from downtown to escape the noise and bustling crowds yet close enough to be at the beach, shops or restaurants within minutes. Artfully designed for privacy inside, this tri-level has an ocean view bedroom and bath on each level plus a separate office area with convenient built-ins. Private patios surround this home; there are ones off the dining room, the office area, the living room and a large brick one in the serene garden with a fountain bubbling nearby. Beautifully landscaped pathways wander throughout the large lot, leading to sitting areas and even a vegetable patch. Features include vaulted, open beam ceilings in most rooms, marble fireplace in the living room, skylights, delightfully tiled baths, custom woodwork and an ingenious use of storage space everywhere. Even more storage can be found in the almost two story high two car garage filled with shelving and a workbench. For ease of parking, a motor court area is located at the top of the driveway.
