Enjoy one of the best views in Southern California from this new architectural work of art executed to the highest standards of craftsmanship. The flow of the house is so perfect that interior and exterior spaces blend seamlessly giving a floating, spacious, open feeling. All natural stone and wood were used throughout the house which is outfitted with the finest quality fixtures and appliances.
With ideal southern exposure, the house is light and sunny, and easily captures 180 degrees of beautiful mountain views, including a peek-a-boo ocean view. Situated on 1.87 acres at a cul-de-sac of a private road, the location is very quiet and private. There is lots of parking (including a space for tourbus/RV), room for pool and gardens. Out of Coastal.
Designed by Jay Vanos with his signature wave rooflines and ceilings. The main part of the house has four large bedrooms plus an office/bonus room, and 3.5 baths. On the lower level is a two-bedroom guest apartment with a full kitchen and bath, and its own entrance. On the same level is an enormous garage/workshop/studio space, which is connected to the guest apartment and also has a half bath.
The entry is a refined greeting space that tantalizes and prepares guests for the stunning interior spaces. The rhythmically curved wood ceilings are made of Southern Bald Cypress (Deep Swamp Cypress that was harvested by boat and helicopter after lying submerged under water for, in some cases, hundreds of years, then custom cut in matching lots and kiln dried to prevent warp and twist.) The kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom cabinets are also Southern Cypress. All of the wood floors are of Character Maple. Somehow the walls seem to be quietly waiting for a sophisticated art collection.
The living room has 9 ft glass sliders out to a broad deck with a stunning view framed by a softly curving roof line. The oversized living room fireplace was hand built with hundreds of horizontally layered pieces of Quartzite and is capped with a smartly contrasting stainless steel chimney. The fire box is designed to draw fresh air from outside the house, preventing unwanted heat loss. It is wood burning and has a civilized gas starter. Outside, Quartzite was used in a uniformly stable pattern to clad the exposed foundation all around the house, and the back patio.
The state-of-the-art kitchen has all stainless steel Viking appliances, a food preparation area with vegetable sink, large center island with stove, and a butcher block breakfast booth which promises to be the social fulcrum of the house. The kitchen floor is Sienna gold travertine and the countertops are granite. The laundry room is off the kitchen and is designed for either a propane or 220w electric dryer. Off the kitchen and dining room is a covered entertainment patio with a wave ceiling. The master bedroom has 10 ft ceilings, his and her walk-in closets, and its own private deck. The master bathroom has Jerusalem gold travertine floors and simply stunning green Brazilian granite countertops.
The garage was built for three cars and is open to the attached studio workspace which easily has room for three more cars. It also has three large and secure storage rooms; a perfect layout for serious collectors. Fiber optics (FiOS fast internet 15 Mbps and TV) are to the house and the house is wired for Internet (CAT5), phone, sound, TV, and cable. There are three HVAC units and zones.
Seller will fully landscape. Seller will also put a pool in at the right price.
