1755 Cardiff Drive offers you quintessential Cambria Lodge Hill living with plenty of sun! This light and bright 2 bed/2 bath, plus art studio-room, cottage by the sea lives well! The spacious living room feels even bigger with its vaulted beam ceilings and views to the Santa Lucia mountains. The brick fireplace is perfect for those chilly nights. The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters and stainless appliances. A bay window gives the dining area a cozy touch. Also on the main level you have a bedroom and bath, and the inspiring studio room, which has a window wall that brings the outdoors in! The main bedroom is a suite upstairs with 2 walk in closets and enough room for an office space or work out area, updated bath with walk in shower, and beam detail ceiling. Located near the top of Cardiff Drive you get views of the mountains to the east and enjoy treetop sunsets to the west. With vacant lots on 2 sides, your outside living areas are quiet and offer those views, provide good wildlife viewing, and great gardening opportunities. The yard includes mature apple and plum trees, various rock and brick work, a handy storage shed, and water storage for irrigation. The oversize 2 car garage is at ground level with interior stairs to living above, and the paved driveway increases the onsite parking, and the paved road is a plus! And, the roof is only a couple of years old! Come see this one and make it your cottage by the sea!
