399 el portal drive

For those seeking a Central Coast beach home, 399 El Portal combines ocean views, generous space, and a prime location. The home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, all positioned to capture sweeping panoramic ocean views. You have multiple perches from which to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and glimmering full moon rises over the water. Have morning coffee and view the sunrise from a private nook in the main bedroom. Later, move out to the all-weather sunroom, dining room, or large living room to enjoy the expansive view with friends. Move outside to the long open deck to see the same expansive view, watch fireworks from Shell Beach to Lompoc, enjoy whale watching, or see rocket launches from Vandenberg SFB. The main floor includes a spacious living room with a sunken fireplace area, dining room, kitchen with ceiling-height chef’s pantry, primary bedroom with en-suite bath, and a second bedroom and bathroom. The flexible floor plan includes a generously sized downstairs bedroom and bathroom, offering privacy and options for guests, extended family, or separation of living areas. With its size and layout, the home provides versatility and long-term potential for future customization. Set on an approximately 12,000 square foot lot, the property includes ample parking in addition to a two-car garage. While much of the home retains its original style, it has been well maintained over the years, with major infrastructure improvements completed to support lasting quality and functionality. Located just minutes from the beach, Shell Beach Bluff Trail, South Palisades Park, pickleball courts, and nearby hiking trails, outdoor recreation is easily accessible. Downtown Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, and San Luis Obispo are also a short drive away, providing convenient access to dining, shopping, and local amenities. This coastal home offers panoramic ocean views, generous living space, and lasting value on a solid base of quality construction — all in a highly desirable Central Coast location.
