The home

About 1501 Buena Vista 2

Only a select few can enjoy living ocean front, with panoramic, spectacular, unobstructed 280 degree white water views. Adjacent direct access to one of the most desirable stretches of sandy beach in the OC makes this home unique. Watch the dolphins, whales, surfers and gorgeous Catalina sunsets from almost every room in this highly upgraded single level home, as well as from your 2 private balconies. Spacious, open floor plan offers gourmet, chefs kitchen with stainless steel appliances, beautiful custom cabinetry, granite counters, wine bar and travertine flooring. Living room has a huge picture window to take in the views, a cozy fireplace and an adjacent large dining area. Large master suite has "lay in bed" views as the sound of the surf lulls you to sleep, with a private, oceanfront balcony and a spa like master bath. Two generous additional bedrooms provide plenty of space, and the inside laundry is super convenient after a day at the beach. This oceanfront home is one of only 3 units in this private, gated complex that offers an ocean front grassy yard with fire pit, spa, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Attached 2 car garage offers off street parking. This is a rare opportunity to live the dream-there simply aren't many properties that offer this front row ocean location and quality of living.
