A rare opportunity in Seaside's highly sought-after Cove neighborhood, this custom-built home has been lovingly held by its original owner since it was completed in 1998. Built by local builder John McGuane, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,972 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space just around the corner from the beach. Step inside to soaring 12-foot ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the main living area with natural light while framing views of the surrounding trees and creek. A double-sided gas fireplace adds warmth to the living spaces, while a separate wood-burning fireplace brings classic coastal coziness. The kitchen opens to a formal dining room for easy everyday living and entertaining. Brand-new carpet in the living areas and bedrooms is complemented by tile flooring throughout the remainder of the home. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with a spacious primary suite featuring its own gas fireplace and huge walk-in closet. Expansive windows throughout create a connection to the outdoors. And the setting may be the best part. Backing to a peaceful creek and surrounded by mature trees, the property feels private and tucked away, yet the beach is right around the corner--and close enough that you can hear the ocean. A nearly wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, with plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, or taking in the tranquil coastal surroundings. A new roof was installed in 2022. The oversized two-car garage includes an additional bay ideal for a workshop or project space, while a partially finished shop/hobby room in the basement offers even more flexibility. A large RV parking area with hookups provides another hard-to-find amenity. Custom built, carefully maintained by one owner, and beautifully situated among the trees, creek and sounds of the nearby Pacific, this is a special home in one of Seaside's most desirable neighborhoods--and one that would be difficult to replicate today.
