Experience iconic Northern California Modernism at 519 Cliff Drive, a 1968 architectural masterpiece in the coveted beachside enclave of Rio del Mar. Designed by a revered Northern California Architect as his family home, the 2,115 sqft embodies the era's signature architectural style: harmonious integration of the landscape with minimalist design creating a unique and calming lifestyle. The open plan flow features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, interior courtyard, private sundeck, laundry room and two car garage. Inside, a dramatic family room showcases a statement fireplace, iconic period furnishings and floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors throughout the house open onto an interior courtyard. But the true magic lies within its appreciation for the coastal climate and the grounds' long-standing Monterey Cypress, Himalayan Dogwoods, Maples and 'Aptos Blue' Redwoods and its prime proximity to the beach. This isn't just a home; it's a gateway to the laid-back coastal lifestyle that defines Santa Cruz County. Enjoy a short stroll from the calm and quiet neighborhood to Hidden or Rio del Mar beaches where pelicans, seals and whales can be seen. An exciting opportunity for a buyer with a passion for NorCal architecture and the vision to bring a transformation to life.
