About This Home
As of September 2026Modern organic design meets effortless coastal living in this exceptional custom residence. Inspired by the iconic Sea Ranch architecture of Northern California, the home blends natural materials with sophisticated craftsmanship on a cul-de-sac just moments from the beach, Cedros Design District, shopping and dining. Since its completion in 2024, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced with a reimagined office (formerly a wine room), striking stone fireplace, expanded cabinetry and storage, and magical landscaping by Chris Drayer, landscape architect. Mature greenery, enhanced fencing, gated pedestrian access, and an automatic driveway gate create extraordinary privacy while framing the home’s distinctive architecture. The dramatic great room showcases soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and three sets of LaCantina pocket doors opening to the pool and spa with water features, generous lawn, covered outdoor kitchen, and dining area with a dual-sided fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with Caesarstone countertops, oversized island, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances. The main floor encompasses the primary suite with vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath and steam shower, plus an additional bedroom suite. Upstairs, two en suite bedrooms share an art studio/common area, west-facing balcony, and deck with fireplace. Highlights include 12 owned solar panels, Sonos sound, electric shades, and whole-house water filtration. Designed by Brian Church Architects, this private oasis pairs a bold aesthetic with an inviting sense of warmth and livability.
