"Blue Water Views From Your Living Room And Rooftop Deck In Cardiff's Walking District" WHAT WE LOVE: Cardiff has a way of making everyday life feel like the reason people move here in the first place. This twin home captures that feeling from the rooftop deck, where the ocean view, coastal air and village below become the real headline. Inside, the home has a warm layout with tons of natural light, Provenza engineered French oak floors, a gas fireplace, upgraded sound attenuating windows and thoughtful character that keeps it feeling beachy, light and bright. The garage is a standout with epoxy floors, an updated door, built in storage, ceiling racks, TV hook-ups, bike storage and workbench space. Close to the beach and Cardiff village, this is a rare chance to own the kind of coastal home that lives bigger than its specs. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT...): The magic here is the combination of setting, feel and function. The rooftop deck is the moment everyone will remember. It is the kind of space that makes coffee feel slower, sunsets feel closer and the Cardiff lifestyle feel fully within reach. The view gives the home its emotional center, but the rest of the property gives it practical depth. Inside, the home has a vertical coastal layout with just enough architectural character to separate it from the standard box. The split level design, arches, fireplace, clerestory style window moments and natural light all give the home personality. The Provenza engineered French oak floors add warmth and quality, while the lower level sound attenuating windows help solve a real world coastal living concern by softening exterior noise. The garage is another sneaky strength. With epoxy floors, built in cabinetry, overhead storage, bike storage, storage and workbench space, it is set up for the kind of beach, bike, surf, tool and weekend gear lifestyle that Cardiff tends to invite. This is not a sprawling suburban floor plan pretending to be coastal. It is a true Cardiff by the Sea home with a view, a rooftop, a garage that actually works and a location that puts the beach, village and west of the 5 lifestyle close by. For the buyer who values lifestyle, view, location and usable space more than wasted rooms, this one has the right kind of soul.
