A piece of art that happens to also be a sleek and sophisticated home is located in an exclusive California coastal community.

La Selva Beach is a quiet beach town nestled between Aptos to the north and Watsonville to the south and the popular Manresa and Sunset State beaches. Its residents even enjoy their own private beach access.

Enjoy the magnificence of the ocean bluffs while being serenaded by the rhythm of the waves washing up on the sandy beaches.
Own it for your personal enjoyment or consider it a prized investment and income-producing property for short or long-term, beach-loving guests.
The private and gated property wraps around the organic-shaped structure that features an open living space that seamlessly flows into amazing outdoor space and balconies. Crafted with precision and an attention to detail, the 700-square-foot home features one bedroom and one luxurious bathroom. Oversized windows frame ocean and garden views and create the feeling of being worlds away from the pace of the city. The property, however, is centrally located within a 15-minute drive to Capitola, less than 40 minutes to Monterey, and less than an hour from the San Jose International Airport and Silicon Valley.
The two-level home is fully furnished with custom designed, mid-century contemporary pieces that highlight its minimalist design.
The home features recently refinished smooth plaster walls, soft, rounded edges, cement floors, and radiant heat.
The main-level living area features a spacious living room with kiva-style gas fireplace, French doors to the gardens and custom built-in seating.
The expertly designed gourmet kitchen bathed in natural light is also a work of art. The kitchen showcases custom cabinetry with rich wood grains, a backsplash of handmade glass tiles, open shelving, sleek cement counters, and gallery lighting. The kitchen is also well appointed with the high end appliances including Bertazzoni double ovens, Wolf cooktop, and SubZero refrigerator and freezer drawers. The Bosch washer and dryer is stacked behind matching cabinetry.
A dramatic floating glass staircase with stainless railing sensually spirals to the upper floor and the bedroom loft that overlooks the living room. Again, this room features a softly rounded ceiling and deep windows create ideal window seats to daydream and be inspired by the beautiful surroundings. The bedroom also has access to a private balcony, a spacious area with breathtaking ocean views and exterior stairs to the gardens.
A luxurious, spa-inspired bathroom features a custom floating vanity, cement counter and floors and tile wainscot. Handmade glass tiles from floor to ceiling also line the shower room that features a 54-inch round, free-standing soaking tub. Enjoy the garden views while indulging in a spa day.
Pathways meander throughout the gated, completely fenced property that is landscaped with colorful foliage and drought resistant plants. Multiple quiet retreat nooks dot the landscape and open areas are ideal for entertaining.
