Rare Catamaran model with peekaboo ocean views, 100 feet to the trail. Forty-eight homes in Seaside Villas are Catamarans — the plan with the most windows, the most light, and the highest ceilings. This is the one with the peekaboo ocean view. No one above you, no one below you, one common wall. A gated front courtyard and a large rear patio give you two outdoor rooms. It lives like a townhouse, not a condo. Two-story ceilings and windows on nearly every side keep this one bright from morning to sunset. The living room is the showpiece: fireplace, plantation shutters, and volume you don't expect from attached coastal living. It opens to the dining area and a kitchen with deep cabinetry, stainless appliances, recessed lighting, a breakfast bar, and a separate nook. Powder room and indoor laundry downstairs. Upstairs, the primary suite has a dual-vanity bath and generous closets, plus two more bedrooms and a full bath. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1,727 sq ft, two-car garage. Then the part no one can duplicate: a private community gate 100 feet from the door opens onto Sycamore Creek Trail. Walk west, and you're at Doheny State Beach in about 10 minutes, under half a mile. Walk east to the dog park and playground. Two pools, two spas, a clubhouse, barbecue and picnic areas, and greenbelts. Light, space, ocean glimpses, and the beach on foot. This one lives differently.
