Perched dramatically above the Pacific along Shell Beach’s coveted Shoreline Drive, this Contemporary Coastal retreat captures panoramic ocean views from every room. Thoughtfully redesigned with an emphasis on natural light, clean architectural lines, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this residence perfectly balances refined sophistication with relaxed seaside living.

The open-concept main level welcomes you with vaulted beamed ceilings and wide-planked flooring that carries throughout the space. Walls of glass frame endless blue horizons and open to a glass-enclosed deck designed for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply soaking in breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific. The great room centers around a sleek linear fireplace and flows effortlessly into the dining area and gourmet kitchen, where custom cabinetry, a sea-glass mosaic backsplash, and dramatic natural stone countertops reflect the ocean’s hues. Stainless steel appliances, modern lighting, and a stylish breakfast bar complete this elevated culinary space.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers a serene private escape with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a contemporary see-thru fireplace, and sliding glass doors leading to a private balcony overlooking the coastline. The spa-inspired ensuite bath features radiant floor heating, marble and glass finishes, dual vanities, and a large walk-in shower that evokes a luxurious retreat. A custom dressing area with built-ins and mirrored cabinetry provides abundant storage and elegance.

Two additional bedrooms on the lower level open directly to the backyard, each featuring sliding glass doors that invite in sea breezes and uninterrupted ocean views. The guest bath is beautifully appointed with sleek tilework, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower with a rainfall fixture.

Outside, the blufftop yard offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing coastline. Low-maintenance landscaping, mature plantings, and multiple seating areas create a tranquil environment for relaxing or entertaining above the waves. Supported by its own seawall, the home provides peace of mind and enduring protection from coastal erosion—an invaluable asset on the bluffs.

Located in one of Shell Beach’s most desirable enclaves—just moments from oceanfront dining, boutique shops, and coastal trails—this residence embodies the essence of Central Coast living, where architecture and ocean converge in timeless harmony.
