| Notes: |
This picture-perfect Encinal Bluffs compound commands majestic ocean, island, and sunset views from over 1.84 acres of gorgeously landscaped grounds with driveway easement beach access. Absolutely unique and eminently liveable, the property is designed in five separate modules. These share their modernist architectural styling and generous outdoor areas, providing ideal settings for day and evening recreation, intimate soirees, and grand entertaining. The pavilion-style modules feature beautiful plank and beam wood ceilings, wraparound walls of glass, clerestory windows, and wide doorways onto pergola-shaded decks, patios, lawns, and sensational views. Each structure is complete in itself, with abundant privacy and easy access to the nearby modules. The exceptionally comfortable ocean-view living room has high ceilings, walls of glass on three sides, built-in bookshelves, a fireplace, a powder room, and a wraparound deck with room for outdoor seating. The deck continues around a large lawn to the kitchen/dining structure. The chef's kitchen is an entertainer's delight, with ocean views, a large island, top-quality appliances, and a Zen-style garden to one side. The deck continues up a few steps to the amazing primary suite, which features beautiful wood floors, a sitting area, a built-in office area, and a spa-worthy bath with an outdoor shower. Full-width doorways in the bedroom and bathroom both open fully to the exceptionally private backyard. There are two additional structures. One is a two-bedroom guest bungalow, each bedroom with its own sitting area and built-in desk, plus wide doors onto a wraparound deck that overlooks lawn, garden, and a large reflecting pool. The other structure is a spacious office/art studio. The backyard offers numerous options for lounging, recreation, and entertaining, including a dining and barbecue patio, a sundeck with a hot tub, and a blufftop deck positioned for round-the-clock enjoyment of the ever-changing sea and sky. |
