About 2 S Portola
Evoking a picturesque storybook charm, this cottage-style retreat behind the gates of Three Arch Bay is timeless in design and function. Perfectly appointed on an oversized corner lot, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is introduced by a white picket fence, brick pathway, and Dutch doors creating a picture-postcard setting. Enclosed within are approximately 2,527 square feet of airy, light-filled living spaces adorned with high wood-beamed ceilings, sky lights, and bespoke finishes anchored by gas and wood burning fireplaces. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, an adjoining butler's pantry, and plenty of cabinet space, the kitchen leads to a sumptuous breakfast nook flanked by glass windows. Beyond, an opulent office space hosts a glass door that opens to reveal a tranquil deck with expansive ocean and sunset views. Rounding out the main-level, the master bedroom is the perfect retreat with an en suite bathroom fitted with rainfall shower head, custom pebble-style mosaic tile shower, and eclectic vanity area. The lower-level is dedicated to a laundry room, three gracious bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Additional amenities of the home include remodeled bathrooms, recently painted interiors and exteriors, new rear deck, newer HVAC system, and meticulously maintained wood flooring throughout. Situated just minutes from the pristine quasi-private beach of Three Arch Bay, residents of this coveted community can enjoy a wealth of activities and amenities including a tennis court, basketball court, park, and clubhouse. The estate feels worlds away yet is just minutes from boutique retail options, outdoor restaurants, and entertainment.
