Downstairs, the ground level has a recreation and living area with a kitchenette and a full-size refrigerator, along with three of the en-suite bedrooms. Cathedral ceilings and a wet bar are among the interior features. Behind the home, a private yard has a custom concrete pool, a large pergola for shade and an outdoor bar, and the grounds are planted with species chosen for the coastal climate. The property last sold for $1 million in 2024, before the current home was built.
