The modern, light-filled home at 33215 High Surf Lane was recently listed for sale by its original owner for $1.25 million.

It's rare to find a home less than a 10-minute walk to the beach with unobstructed ocean and coastal views, said listing agent John Patrick Faherty.

Designed in 2014 by Pacific Northwest architect Paul McKean, the three-bedroom home makes clever use of the one-acre site. Its interior spaces are equally thoughtfully conceived.

McKean is well known throughout the region for homes inspired by a combination of modern and rustic styles that complement the surrounding landscape.

The home's backyard abuts the Pacific Ocean and features a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Faherty says, "The interior design is clean, efficient and luxurious, with details such as the tiled backsplash behind the kitchen and TV." McKean gave the space a very unique look."

That aesthetic includes cedar-panelled walls and ceilings, as well as an open-plan living and dining area bathed in natural light.

A covered outdoor dining area and built-in concrete fire pit with benches form an inviting al fresco living space.

The 1,443-square-foot home was clearly built to host guests: one of the bedrooms offers four built-in bunk beds with storage and a spacious sitting area.

Other bedrooms include a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a master guest room.

With magnificent sea views from the balcony and most of the windows, it's easy to see why it's known as a 'coastal sanctuary'.

Its design, aesthetics, location and simple, easy-to-live-in floor plan are truly unique in the marketplace, says Faherty.
