About this House

Designed by James Morris in 1984, this one story home was designed for entertaining. The Gigantic Living room flows to a circular sun room while taking in the gardens, pool and terraces all framed by ocean views. The entry gallery separates the public and private sections of the home. Two master suites separated by a library with fireplace and wet bar. Both of the Master suites and the Library look into peaceful gardens while age old trees showcase the mountain views. The larger master has a fireplace and a newly renovated sumputous bath and two quite large closets. The other master overlooks the pool and gardens to the ocean beyond. The classical architecture is evident from the perfect dual ten foot tall glass entrance doors. This home also features an ocean view chef's kitchen with a full wall of floor to ceiling cabinets and bookshelves as well as a walk in pantry and separate laundry room. The breakfast room has ocean views and direct access to a private ocean view terrace. Intimate mature gardens surround the home. The motorcourt could easily accomodate a dozen cars. This close in highly sought after location is rarely available sometimes waiting almost 30 years to come on the market as this home did. The Blue chip address combined with both Ocean and Mountain views make this property quite special and remarkable.
