About 761 Las Olas Drive
This charming Cape Cod-style beach cottage places you and your guests just a couple dozen steps from the sand and sea – in the gated Las Olas community.
A secluded, sunny inner courtyard greets you as you enter the front gate, protected from the street by fencing and foliage. Inside, everything turns to the ocean view. A living room with a cozy fireplace, wood mantel, built in seating and bookshelves, and painted wood-paneled ceiling and walls makes the most of the view through an oversized picture window and Dutch door leading to the wrap-around deck outside. Built-in bookshelves add a warm wood glow, picked up by the kitchen cabinets.
The kitchen has traditional touches like more wood-paneling on the walls and ceilings, a dinner bell to gather everyone back from the beach, and metal windows that open to the sea air. White appliances, including a double oven and under-cabinet microwave, give the kitchen a light, open feel.
The cottage is built for visitors, drawn to the beach and ocean outside. A lovely detached master suite has wood floors, recessed lights, a Dutch door to the deck, a master bath with marble counters and double sinks, and a spacious closet with built-in storage – all paneled in the classic Cape Cod style from floor to ceiling. The main house has a second bedroom with built-in bunkbeds and cabinets, as well as a Dutch door so guests of all sizes can rush outside the minute they awaken. A third bedroom has similar touches and inside shutters to block out the sunshine and sleep in. The second bath has a tub and shower combination, tucked into a tiled archway.
Relaxing in the quiet inner courtyard with a book, nestled into the cozy bunkbeds for a nap, or enjoying a sunset cocktail on the ocean front deck, overlooking the classic Thomas Church landscaping before a walk on the beach – all of these pleasures await you in this rare opportunity to live on the very edge of Monterey Bay, on the sand at Seacliff Beach. The Cement Ship & Pacific Ocean are just steps away.
