About This Home

As of July 2025

A modern sanctuary awaits behind the gates of 518 Sunset Ave, where thoughtful architecture and impeccable design meet, created by local builder, Michael Baker and Strong Coast Construction. With an architectural main house and two story guest house encompassing 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, this property is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and seamless indoor-outdoor living. An oversized custom oak front door opens to a light-filled entryway with soaring 14-foot ceilings and wide-plank engineered white oak floors. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from accent windows and skylights to wall insets designed for art display. Anchoring the home is the chef's kitchen, a masterful blend of form and function featuring exceptional Gaggenau appliances, sleek Neolith countertops, custom Bulthaup cabinetry, Dornbracht fixtures, and sculptural Flos pendant lighting. Fleetwood doors open to a serene outdoor paradise with a heated saltwater pool and spa adorned with Bali Green quartzite tiles and Mont Alpi barbecue station. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet, private balcony with soaking tub, and a spa-inspired bathroom with Phylrich fixtures, terrazzo tile, and marble countertops. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with Waterworks fixtures. The two-story guest house mirrors the thoughtful design of the main residence. A voluminous skylit great room, top-of-the-line kitchenette, and half bath occupy the ground floor, while the upper level features an oversized bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring beautiful plaster walls, marble counters, and heated floors. Additional features include central HVAC (main house), mini-split AC units (guest house), Sonos integrated sound system, Ring cameras, Doorbird entry control, laundry areas in both houses, and 4+ parking spaces.
