208 del gado road

Ideally located near the beach in a dreamy mid-century enclave, this offering is absolutely stunning. Originally imagined in the early 1960s by renowned architect Chris Abel, these homes have been desired since. Upon arrival, an elevated & private patio welcomes you into this iconic single-level home with direct views of Saddleback mountain in the distance. Upon entry, it’s apparent this is one of the nicest options to ever come available in the community. Sandblasted ceilings lead you within the most beautiful great room. A unique & thoughtful approach to the floor plan centers the dining, offering a much more spacious family room. The use of different materials: painted block, wide-plank wood-like LVP flooring, agave-green shaker cabinetry, & large-scale windows including sleek upper gable windows for ample natural light, all create the most comfortable vibe inside. Newer stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, Walnut shelving, custom lighting, & fixtures and built-in storage all contribute to the upgraded appeal of the kitchen. A rare gas fireplace anchors the oversized family room finished in white brick, providing a cozy warmth throughout the entire open space. Two spacious bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, stylish draperies, newer carpet, ceiling fans, mirrored closet doors, & gable windows, both rooms offer the most relaxing place to wake up. The primary has a very private patio beyond accessed by sliding doors. This is another relaxing & sunny space to unwind outside. A newly-updated full bathroom with dual sinks, new vanity & fixtures with skylight services the home. Other newer values: central heater, water heater, solid-core shaker doors inside, casings & baseboards, stackable laundry, new paint & flooring throughout, one-car garage nearby + parking space, & its ideal location. Reminiscent of iconic mid-century Eichler-esk design, the neighborhood consists of 54 homes centered around a private solar-heated saltwater community pool & center. Very close to the ocean with nearby access to sandy beaches, a paved beach path runs north to south from SC to DP along the coast highway. Several restaurants, cafes, beautiful beaches and fun surf spots along the way, the SC Pier & beach trail, & easy access to the DP Harbor - currently undergoing a major renovation (value add for the entire area). This location offers an ideal central point to both cities. These mid-century homes within the Vista Del Gado are a special offering rarely available.
