About This Home
As of March 2015This is the one. With massive uninterrupted beach and ocean views yet just blocks to the beach and village, the property sits on a prime North Laguna cul-de-sac unknown to most locals. Reconstructed almost entirely and hugely expanded by a premier local builder, the Tim Nicol designed home is understated but impeccably finished. The main level opens through walls of glass to a large view deck on one side, and to serene gardens framed by artisan crafted metal and glass doors on the other. Two ensuite bedrooms anchor each end of the main floor, and a stunning kitchen provides the heart. A unique master suite occupies the entire upper level of the home. Light-filled, open and comfortable, the home establishes a special connection to the village and ocean while preserving a strong sense of privacy and peace. Homes on this street rarely become available, and a home of this caliber has not been offered in recent history – this is a rare opportunity.
