Experience the ultimate in coastal living with this stunning custom Mediterranean estate on a rare lot and a half in Belmont Shore—just steps to Alamitos Bay, one block from the ocean, and a short stroll to 2nd Street. Designed to maximize both vibrant entertaining spaces and private retreats, the expansive front dining patio is perfect for lingering with a glass of wine while greeting neighbors, while the oversized private side patio—with built-in grill, outdoor kitchen, and fireplace—offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining and gatherings under the stars. A striking inlaid glass entry door opens to an expansive living room with open-beamed ceilings, a distinctive brick fireplace, large picture window, hardwood floors, and built-in shelving flanking the arched entry to the formal dining room. From here, a wall of folding doors connects seamlessly to the side patio, blending indoor comfort with outdoor charm. The remodeled kitchen features granite counters, Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and abundant storage, along with a charming breakfast room that opens to the front patio—keeping you connected with guests while you cook. A versatile downstairs bedroom, family room, or office has its own private entrance with steps to the bay. The remodeled three-quarter bath with unique tile work, a large laundry room with storage, and an oversized attached two-car garage with parking pad complete the first level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with a fireplace, bay window with beveled glass, private balcony, and a dream-worthy walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. The remodeled spa bath offers a standalone tub, walk-in shower, dual sinks, and peek-a-boo bay views. The guest suite enjoys a newer three-quarter Jack and Jill bath and its own balcony to catch ocean breezes, while the third bedroom offers its own bay views. Notable upgrades include three remodeled bathrooms, folding side doors, built-in BBQ/outdoor kitchen, new garage door system, outdoor tile, HVAC system, and a high-tech WiFi router. Blending refined design, modern comforts, and an unbeatable location, this is more than a home—it’s a coastal lifestyle you’ll treasure.
