About this condo

Just blocks from the surf and sand, this turnkey 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach cottage captures the soul of coastal living in one of Leucadia’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Whether you’re walking to your favorite coffee spot, biking to the beach with your surfboard, or rinsing off in the outdoor shower after a salty day in the waves — this home makes everyday life feel like a vacation. Inside, you're greeted by sun-drenched, open-concept living spaces with wide-plank oak floors, clean modern lines, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Cantina-style bifold doors and a pass-through kitchen window connect the heart of the home to a private backyard oasis — complete with a lounge area and lush landscaping. The yard is made for entertaining, post-surf hangouts, morning yoga, or quiet evenings under the stars. A detached garage conversion adds flexibility as a home office, art studio, or wellness retreat. Located near shops, great schools, and Leucadia’s vibrant dining scene — this home isn’t just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle.
