$1,250,000 - 56 Avocet, La Selva Beach

Dramatic Ocean Front Contemporary Home by Walter Thomas Brooks. This Pajaro Dunes home was designed as an earth sheltered home half buried in the sand.
From the sheltered wood deck, you can see through the glass entry out to the sea. The burnished Saltillo-tiled floors run from the kitchen to the dining room with its wall of windows and views to Monterey. Step down into the living room with its 2-story high ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, large cement hearth, and built-in cushioned seating. There is a custom wood chandelier that hangs over the built in tiled coffee table. The custom kitchen has new Stainless Steel appliances, wood-trimmed cabinets, and spacious tiled counters ready for preparing leisurely meals.
Walk upstairs to the serene Master Bedroom & bath with views of the sea. . The bedroom has a built-in platform bed and skylight that has a California-Zen feel. The wood floors have been freshly refinished. There is an open sitting area and built-in closets. Take the stairway down to the lower level and there are walls of bookcases. Both downstairs bedrooms have picture windows that overlook the open, sunny courtyard—a perfect place for relaxing in the sun out of the wind.
A luxury vacation home, the house is part of the Pajaro Dunes resort community. It is a gated community, with 24 hour security. It includes housekeeping services, tennis courts, bike rentals, paddle boats, nature walks, etc. It has an active property management service, including rentals program.
Just outside your front door is a wooden footpath that leads you directly to the beach. The sea and sand and wildlife are yours for private viewing in the midst of the Pajaro Dunes community of homes.
