This is a romantic ocean house at the end of a road with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Views are partially framed by lovely cypress trees. There is a great sense of privacy and seclusion with large windows along ocean side. The house is intimate, yet spacious due to open floor plan. House is on a small, inclined lot with 2 1/2 bedrooms (1 1/2 on the lower level)and a new multi-level stone patio among towering cypress trees.
Wood-burning stove provides generous heat throughout. The studio kitchen has all the expected amenities - dishes, silverware, utensils, pots, and pans. There are maple cabinets and granite countertops. High quality furniture, extensive book selection,DVD movies, and artwork throughout the house.
As the only house on the cul-de-sac, there is plenty of parking. We have furnished this house for ourselves and our guests. You will not be disappointed during your time here.
Seasonal Weather Note: November and December are precious times near the ocean with more dramatic waves and clearer skies. The ever-changing drama of the ocean illuminates the power of planetary energy.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
I've come to realize how much I enjoy enhancing the value of a home, so I now call myself, at age 66, a "property designer". While my wife, Carol, teaches kindergarten, she also runs her own online book business selling rare and autographed first editions. This creates a wonderful "river" of great books flowing through our house. There are also 3 children who have young families in Calif. and Indiana. When I'm not playing with property design, I'm probably out training with my bike racing club or reading or writing something. Owning this piece of "Ocean Heaven", that we also get to enjoy, makes us feel deeply fortunate indeed. We're sure you will too.
Why the Owner Chose Half Moon Bay
We never planned, in a million years, to buy an oceanside property. Yet, one day after picnicing at the nearby lighthouse, I expressed a long-held desire to "just see inside" a house perched beside the Pacific. Within minutes a "For Sale" sign appeared and we couldn't resist. We were knocked out by the view... and the price! It was not a "slice of the ocean"... but a panoramic view! Recovering several hours later, we started having "Purpose of Life" conversations. Soon, it was ours.
The Unique Benefits of this House
First, you just stare at this constantly changing show of energy called, The Ocean. It's primal nature soothes and relaxes. Fussiness disappears, simplicity emerges. And then you think, "I'm hungry!" Then the fun begins with food and that view with the people you love. In all honesty, all the rest is just gravy.
Of course, there is the romantic lighthouse, the beaches, the movie locations, and the coastal mountains. Come to think of it, maybe I should be raising the rates!
