Description

This striking mid-century modern residence sits on a premier corner lot in lower Bird Rock with sweeping Pacific Ocean views. Thoughtfully reimagined in collaboration with a talented local designer and contractor, the home represents a truly custom renovation—intentionally designed from corner to corner. Two bedrooms and the bonus office are located on the main level, while the third bedroom occupies its own separate level with a private entrance and full bathroom. This versatile space offers an ideal retreat for overnight guests, family, extended stays, or anyone looking for additional privacy and independence.
