Dreaming of living within a piece of coastal history with stunning ocean views? Rising above the community of Surfside, the legendary Water Tower House is not just a home—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience! Originally constructed in the late 1800s to hold water for passing steam engines, this historic landmark was transformed into a fully functional residence in 1985, and now offers over 2800 sq ft with four bedrooms &#38' four baths for a truly unforgettable lifestyle. From the moment you enter the base of the tower, step into a story that connects today to yesteryear. The foyer welcomes you with a cascading water feature and a wall of vintage tools unearthed during the 1940s—a tribute to the structure’s enduring legacy. A ground-floor guestroom with a secret nook is a playful retreat for overnight visitors. The elevator whisks you up to the main living quarters, the 3rd level of the tower is rich with character—whether you&#39're preparing a meal in the well-appointed kitchen with modern appliances or enjoying coffee in the dining area surrounded by dramatic angles and coastal lore. One of the bedchambers is here, creatively themed after the only known pirate to haunt these shores, adding an imaginative twist to the home’s personality. The wrap-around deck invites you to sip cocktails while watching the waves or catching the sunset from any angle. Venture upward and you&#39'll find two exceptional ensuite bedrooms—each a retreat in its own right with unique panoramic scenes via hinged windows. At the pinnacle of the abode, 5th level, sits the Rotunda, a spectacular open-concept area, built within a lofty octagon of redwood beams and glass where sunlight pours through expansive picture windows with 360-degree views that stretch from Catalina to the mountains.. A stained-glass cupola crowns the heights of the ceiling while a compass rose marks the hardwood floor beneath your feet. A circular staircase, adorned with ironwork and fine wood detailing, connects the elevated levels. Throughout the dwelling, you’ll find surprises—from a whimsical model train weaving through the rafters, to bespoke shelving, artistic glasswork displays, and a spectacular sunset deck. Add a laundry room, and garage parking to the ever-growing list of perks accompanying life here. Located just off PCH, you&#39're only moments from iconic neighborhood spots like Woody’s Diner, Captain Jacks, Sunset Beach, and Huntington Harbor. Come experience being above it all in the world-famous Water Tower House!
