About This Home
As of October 2025Effortlessly blending elevated style with coastal ease, this artfully designed Peninsula Point residence embodies the cool, laid-back spirit of Southern California living while offering bespoke interiors and ocean views. Positioned in an enviable setting just steps from the shore every detail of the home has been thoughtfully curated, from custom wood ceiling treatments and dramatic high-volume spaces to refined finishes that create a timeless, coastal-modern aesthetic. Enjoy the great room’s inviting atmosphere, with an open-concept design and effortless connection to the outdoors. Here expansive glass walls retract to reveal a sunlit patio, creating a natural extension of the space for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A sleek, contemporary fireplace anchors the room with warmth and style, while custom finishes—wood flooring, soft neutral tones, and refined textures—enhance the polished yet approachable coastal style. Designed for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings, the professional-grade kitchen is anchored by a striking marble waterfall island and complemented by custom cabinetry in a refined mix of white and rich natural wood tones. Premium appliances offer function and beauty, and a high-style wet bar with wine refrigeration makes for effortless entertaining. Upstairs the serene primary suite is designed with comfort in mind. Dramatic ceiling detail, custom wall paneling, and rich wood floors set the tone, while expansive windows frame treetop views and bathe the room in soft natural light. The spa-style bath invites relaxation with its deep soaking tub, dual-sink marble vanity, and rejuvenating steam shower. Two additional guest suites, and an ocean view office with custom Murphy Bed wall system complete the second floor. The home’s ultimate coastal vantage point is the ocean-view roof deck, with the sound of the waves and a panorama of water and city light views from sunrise to sunset. The interior lounge elevates rooftop entertaining, as it is fully appointed with refrigeration and abundant cabinet and counter space. Practical luxuries include a spacious two-car garage with EV charging and a dedicated beach shower area with storage for boards and bikes. Delight in the Peninsula Point lifestyle from this toes-in-the-sand coastal retreat where timeless design and the beauty of the ocean converge.
