The three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-storey house is minutes from the beach in the desirable Point Dome area of this Californian hotspot. And it's as Pretty as the Woman herself.
Built in 1949, this classic California Ranch House has been totally renovated, with 'brand-new everything', according to the property particulars.
The small entrance hall leads directly into this spacious living room, open to the eaves to keep it cool in summer. In winter, there's a widescreen fire to make the whole place toasty.
There's space for a table in the fresh white kitchen, and a breakfast bar for casual dining. You'll find all mod cons here, including a dishwasher and waste disposal to handle the washing up.
