About this home

A new two-bedroom, two-bath guest house above the main home's garage, with 180-degree ocean views to the west and south from the living room, kitchen and balcony. On a clear day you can see from Catalina to La Jolla; the bedrooms look east over the hills.

The kitchen has high-end appliances and everything for cooking. There's a private entry, a private patio and an outdoor shower in the side yard.

The driveway is shared with the main residence and the guest house has no garage. One parking spot is yours; stairs lead up to the door.
