Beautiful contemporary home designed by renowned local architect Morris Skenderian located on a 3/4 acre lot in the Village only a few blocks to the beach. This 4 bedroom, light and bright home showcases large windows that frame the natural beauty of the surrounding creek and hills. The open floorplan has plenty of room for comfort and entertainment, with a chef's kitchen and spacious living room that flow to the back patio and outdoor deck perfect for summer BBQs and concerts in neighboring Bluebird Park. For special occasions, serve guests in the formal dining room and formal living room, or enjoy the big game or a movie night in the media/game room. Escape to the large master suite with attached balcony and luxurious bathroom. A truly unique feature of this grand home is the long driveway/bridge that sets it back from the street and provides ample privacy and parking. Additional features include the 2-car garage with storage, dual zone air-conditioning, and a designated laundry room. A short stroll to the best beaches, galleries, shops and restaurants of the historic HIP and Downtown districts, 772 Cress is close to all the action, but far enough to provide a peaceful retreat.
