About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to The Courtyard House! Recipient of the 2019 AIA LBSB Honor Award, this exceptional home was designed by the renowned Ras-A-Studio, an architectural firm known for creating spaces that elevate quality of living while making a positive impact on the environment and the community.
Nestled on a corner lot in the desirable Mira Costa neighborhood, The Courtyard House is just steps away from the award-winning Mira Costa High School and Pennekamp Elementary, and less than a mile from the beach.
Designed for both beauty and privacy, the home is thoughtfully enclosed by a concrete masonry wall that integrates built-in planters filled with drought-tolerant plants. The courtyard, pool, and patio are shielded from public view, ensuring a peaceful retreat. For a touch of warmth and color, the home showcases Western red cedar ceilings and a striking pink front door and patio wall.
Inside, the spacious open floor plan centers around a kitchen and dining area. Floor-to-ceiling retractable glass pocket doors blur the lines between interior and outdoor living, leading to the backyard where an innovative "endless pool" awaits; perfect for swimming, fitness, training, therapy or leisurely relaxation. After a swim, cozy up by the built-in, gas powered fire pit or entertain with ease in the spacious courtyard at the outdoor built-in BBQ grill. A versatile bonus room off the dining area serves as an ideal office, entertainment space or fifth bedroom.
The home offers four bedrooms in total: three upstairs, one downstairs. The primary ensuite overlooks a tranquil park view. The luxurious primary bath features heated floors. The remaining upstairs bedrooms have solar-scooped window frames that control sunlight. Upstairs, a large built-in office nook offers a quiet, efficient workspace. A mudroom leads to the oversized garage, which accommodates two large vehicles and is equipped with an EV charging port.
Designed with California modern informality in mind, the home is also eco-conscious, fully solar-powered, and harmoniously integrated with its surroundings.
