This premier duplex beachfront residence with active short term rental permits presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of coastal history, where timeless Spanish charm and original architectural elements have been thoughtfully updated for contemporary living. The front unit serves as an elegant vantage point for the Pacific, capturing sweeping ocean views from the living room and front bedroom, and featuring a scenic breakfast bar along with a private front patio with built-in seating. Equally sophisticated, the back unit offers generous proportions, a large eating area, and an expansive patio designed for effortless outdoor enjoyment. A central spiral staircase elegantly connects top-level living area with a primary suite to the two lower bedrooms and a shared bath, providing a modern flow that maintains a sense of privacy for all occupants. While just a row from the sand, this property does not lack in resort-style shared amenities, including a standalone sauna and a rejuvenating jacuzzi, alongside a finished garage that could easily function as an artist’s studio or a storage space. The property’s prime location puts it just steps from the boardwalk and the area’s grocery store. Complete with active short-term lodging permits, this residence represents a unique opportunity to experience the very best of coastal living in a home that is as functional as it is beautiful.
