Ideally positioned along Ruskin Park in Seaside Proper, the home offers effortless walkability to the beach, town center, and Seaside’s iconic shops and restaurants.

First Floor Arrival & Relaxed Lounge Living

Guests arrive through private rear parking for two vehicles before stepping into a welcoming first-floor living lounge. This relaxed space features a sofa, two club chairs, and a large mounted flat-screen TV, creating an easy gathering spot for movies or casual conversation. Just off the living room is a stylish wet bar with a coffee setup, ideal for entertaining or slow mornings before heading to the beach. Two oversized custom built-in bunk beds with reading lights and integrated storage provide a fun retreat for teens or children, while a nearby half bath adds convenience. Colorful modern artwork and bright designer furnishings bring personality and warmth to the space.

First Floor King Suite

Also located on the first floor is the first of three king suites. This serene bedroom includes a mounted Frame TV, closet storage, and a beautifully designed ensuite bath. The spa-style bathroom features dual vanities with backlit mirrors and a spacious walk-in shower with dual rain shower heads, creating a relaxing place to unwind after a day along the coast.

The second floor features an expansive king primary suite designed as a private retreat. A cozy sitting area with two club chairs sits beside large windows surrounded by charming shutters that can be opened to welcome natural light. The room also includes a large Frame TV and generous closet space. The spa-inspired ensuite bathroom offers a marble dual vanity with custom illuminated cabinetry, elegant gold sconces, and backlit mirrors.

Second Floor Parkside King Suite with Balcony

At the front of the home, the third king suite enjoys beautiful views over Ruskin Park. French doors open onto a covered balcony with two lounge rockers overlooking the park’s treetops—perfect for morning coffee or an evening nightcap. Inside, the suite features a mounted Frame TV and a spa-style bathroom with a marble vanity, backlit mirror, and glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a rain shower head and handheld wand. This suite also provides direct access to the home’s elevator, offering added convenience for guests. A laundry room is tucked discreetly into the hallway behind a stylish sliding barn door.

Third Floor Light-Filled Living & Gathering Spaces

The third floor serves as the heart of the home and is designed as a bright, welcoming gathering space for family and friends. The main living room features a large comfortable sofa and four club chairs arranged for easy conversation and relaxation. Two sets of double doors open to a covered porch overlooking Ruskin Park, where modern rocking loungers provide a peaceful place to enjoy views from three floors above the park’s canopy.

Open-Concept Kitchen & Dining

Adjacent to the living room is the newly renovated open-concept kitchen and dining area. Custom cabinetry provides generous storage, while a four-burner electric cooktop, Keurig coffee maker, built-in microwave, and spacious pantry make preparing meals easy. The kitchen is accented by striking green marble walls that add a dramatic design element. The adjacent dining table comfortably seats six guests, while a second wet bar offers additional space for preparing cocktails or beach-day refreshments. A skylit half bath on this level adds convenience for entertaining.
