About This Home
As of February 2024Experience the epitome of luxury living in this exquisitely redesigned dream home, where indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly blend to create your personal paradise. Step out onto the expansive 1,500-square-foot entertainment deck, offering breathtaking ocean views, or retreat to the private backyard oasis featuring a stunning swimming pool and relaxing hot tub. This distinguished residence boasts five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, including dual master suites, a wine bar, and multiple living areas adorned with exquisite finishes, high-end features, and custom details. Every inch of this nearly 4,000-square-foot property was meticulously remodeled in 2018 by the Danish architect Jesper Pedersen, founder of the renowned DNA Design Group, resulting in a modern masterpiece with a sophisticated design and a thoughtfully designed floor plan. Situated just two blocks from the ocean in the prestigious Sunset Cliffs neighborhood, this dream luxury home offers the ultimate indoor/outdoor living experience. Its clever layout is perfectly suited for everyday living, making it not just a fantastic entertainer's haven but also an ideal family retreat. Nestled on a tranquil street, this serene residence offers a private sanctuary tucked away from the tourist hotspots that entice global travelers. From the grand 5-foot-wide custom front door to the European-inspired custom kitchen, from the unique wine display and bar to the custom cabinetry in the laundry room (complete with a convenient dumbwaiter from the garage to the first floor), no detail has been overlooked.
