5463 Driftwood ST Oxnard CA 93035 MLS #V1-33575

Welcome to Mandalay Shores, a beach community known for great waves, miles of beaches, stunning sunsets and an idyllic lifestyle where outdoor activities abound. Four spots back from the sandy shores of Mandalay Beach, this coastal condo makes a great full-time home or weekend getaway. Filled with convenient features, this is a well-kept property to enjoy right away.The ‘penthouse’ of the building, 5463 Driftwood stretches over the garages, meaning there are no downstairs neighbors. Once up the private exterior stairs that lead to the home, there is a modern Dutch Door entry, which allows cool ocean breezes to fill the space. A great-room style kitchen, dining and family room have mountain views, natural light, soaring ceilings and a large balcony. Two bedrooms and two baths are on the same level, one with its own northwest-facing balcony. There is an efficient bonus of a laundry area in the hall bath with room for full-size appliances. Upstairs is a spacious flexible space, currently styled as an office and family room. With ocean views, this could also make a primary or guest sleeping room. With its west and northwest exposure, this home is bright throughout the day, and its views include the ocean, Channel Islands, and the famed Topa Topa mountains of Ojai, where the breathtaking ‘Pink Moment’ is a visual treat as the sun sets. In the cooler months, waking up to see snow capping the Topa Topas is a special surprise, something unexpected from a home so close to the beach! On the ground, there is a single-car garage and a dedicated parking spot on the end, with plenty of room to store beach toys, boards, and more. The BBQ patio next to the parking spot is reserved for this unit. Ask about the possible golf cart inclusion! This home is well-located with the beach proximity as the main act. Other highlights include: newer windows, freshly-painted building, recently-refreshed patio decks and staircase, hard-surface flooring ideal for the beach, kitchen with durable and upgraded counters and rich wood cabinetry, updated light fixtures inside and out, close proximity to the Channel Islands Harbor, Seabridge Marina and the award-winning olol’koy Beach Park.
