The house is in a wonderful residential area and yet you are only a few blocks from New leaf grocery store and that whole artsy west side complex of numerous restaurants, coffee shops and pop up events. Turn to the right and you are almost across the street from a park. Turn right again and look to the ocean which is only 20 houses away along with Mitchell's cove. Up the coast from there a ways are tidepools and Natural Bridges State Park where the monarchs overwinter. Down the coast is Lighthouse Field State Beach. Is it possible to find a better located house?
