Property Description

A rare opportunity in Seaside’s highly sought-after Cove neighborhood, this custom-built home has been lovingly held by its original owner since it was completed in 1998. Built by local builder John McGuane, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,972 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space just around the corner from the beach.Step inside to soaring 12-foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the main living area with natural light while framing views of the surrounding trees and creek. A double-sided gas fireplace adds warmth to the living spaces, while a separate wood-burning fireplace brings classic coastal coziness. The kitchen opens to a formal dining room for easy everyday living and entertaining. Brand-new carpet in the living areas and bedrooms is complemented by tile flooring throughout the remainder of the home.The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with a spacious primary suite featuring its own gas fireplace and huge walk-in closet. Expansive windows throughout create a connection to the outdoors.And the setting may be the best part. Backing to a peaceful creek and surrounded by mature trees, the property feels private and tucked away, yet the beach is right around the corner—and close enough that you can hear the ocean. A nearly wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, with plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the tranquil coastal surroundings.A new roof was installed in 2022. The oversized two-car garage includes an additional bay ideal for a workshop or project space, while a partially finished shop/hobby room in the basement offers even more flexibility. A large RV parking area with hookups provides another hard-to-find amenity.Custom built, carefully maintained by one owner, and beautifully situated among the trees, creek and sounds of the nearby Pacific, this is a special home in one of Seaside’s most desirable neighborhoods—and one that would be difficult to replicate today.
