420 El Portal DR Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Off the Market until 2022. 420 El Portal is a mid-century modern masterpiece in a coveted location at the crossroads of El Portal and Indio Drive in Shell Beach. Built in 1973 and extensively remodeled in 2018. This property offers its lucky new owners panoramic coastal and ocean views from Port San Luis to Point Sal.

Upon entry, you?ll be drawn to expansive windows bringing the ocean in with every glance. The main living area has soaring beam ceilings and cheery light wood throughout, evoking the feeling of the beach. The open floor plan allows the sun to drench every room, and skylights are strategically placed to let even more of the outdoors in.

A Thermador range plus a built-in convection oven, beautiful Heath Ceramics tiles in ?moonstone? blue mirroring the ocean, and durable quartz countertops with a vintage look make the kitchen a chef?s oasis.

The master suite, elevated above the living areas for privacy and views, feels like its own peaceful retreat. Wake up with the sun to broad coastal outlooks from the windows and balcony on this level or keep the custom shades (outfitted throughout) closed until you?re ready to greet the day: this space is both open and cozy.

The second bedroom, with direct access to the sunny backyard, enjoys warm morning light. A third bedroom off the main living area can be used for sleeping, WFH, an entertainment room, or whatever you desire. Each room enjoys ample closet and storage space. Downstairs is a bonus room with built-in bookshelves for use as a library/office, but could also be an additional sleeping area, craft room, media or gym space. The potential is endless. There is a separate laundry room alongside an oversized two car garage with space for a work area.

The terraced backyard includes fruit trees, a planter bed for veggies, and a gas fire pit. The front and side have a range of drought-tolerant mature planting. But the real star is the expansive deck, rebuilt by the current owners for complete indoor-outdoor living: entertaining, grilling on the BBQ, stargazing, or viewing the setting sun.

This property has been lovingly restored and updated for modern living without sacrificing the mid-century details that make it special. The genius of this home is how the views have been maximized: you?ll find yourself spotting the ocean everywhere. Enjoy nearby hiking, surfing, golfing, wine tasting, dining, and much more. This is truly a unique Central Coast home?welcome to paradise!
