Meticulously cared-for and rarely available, this charming upper 'carriage' style condominium offers privacy, security, and style. Entry is through a fully enclosed front patio with a locking gate and solid front door, creating a welcoming and secure entryway perfect for entertaining and BBQing. The kitchen's thoughtful square layout with cabinets on all sides includes a large solid-surface peninsula for expanded preparation and serving, opening to the dining area and providing smooth, functional flow -- like a well-choreographed ballet for cooking and entertaining. Unique California Deluxe Windows open inward for easy cleaning. Thoughtful upgrades include canned lighting in the dining and living areas, providing easier maintenance in the dining area and freeing space in the living room for additional seating, as well as custom master and hallway closets, reflecting careful, loving upkeep by the third owner over 32 years. The gated Millstream community is lush and serene, featuring streams, water features, walking paths, and landscaped greenbelts with seating to enjoy the sights and sounds. Residents enjoy a pool, spa, and tennis court. Ideally located with easy freeway access and close to shopping, dining, and the beach, this rare home offers privacy, charm, and a peaceful coastal lifestyle.
