Property 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.

This versatile space offers an ideal retreat for overnight guests, family, extended stays, or anyone looking for additional privacy and independence.
