This 2,327-square-foot contemporary Los Osos home pairs clean, modern architecture with warm, natural materials and a lush tropical landscape. Three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms are joined by a dedicated office and a separate family room, giving the open layout with vaulted ceilings room to work, relax, and entertain. Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows throughout create a light, airy feel, with nearly every upper level window capturing views of the bay, dunes, rock, or hills. Custom cherry cabinetry and warm wood ceilings bring texture and warmth throughout, balanced by concrete countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and the abundance of natural light plays off the home's warm finishes throughout the day. The home features three decks. The upper deck, off the living room, takes in sweeping views of the bay and sandspit dunes — an ideal spot for morning coffee or watching the sunset. The lower deck of Ipe wood, off the primary bedroom, holds a private spa and offers a quieter, more intimate outdoor space. A third deck, off the office, adds an additional outdoor living area with hill views. Tropical landscaping surrounds the property, with lush greenery softening the home's modern lines and adding to its relaxed, coastal feel. The location is one of the best in Cuesta by the Sea, just one block to Sweet Springs Nature Preserve, with its boardwalk trails through eucalyptus groves and views over the estuary, and a short walk to downtown Baywood Park's shops, bakery, and restaurants. A well-designed home in a setting that's hard to match with modern comfort and natural warmth, this home enjoys the best Los Osos has to offer.
