Description

Behind private gates, this residence isn't just a home; it's a meticulously crafted masterpiece envisioned by Sally Sirkin Lewis. An inductee of the Interior Design Hall of Fame & featured on Architectural Digest's prestigious AD100 list, her influence is woven throughout. Every aspect of this residence bears the hallmark of excellence, with custom furniture meticulously curated & designed by her L.A.-based company, J. Robert Scott. Embodying the designer's unique interpretation of California style, this home seamlessly blends elements of "modern classic" & "transitional" styles. A gracefully curved maple wood staircase welcomes you, setting the tone for the main level, where maple wood accents grace the flooring & walls. In the great room, expansive sliding doors virtually vanish into the walls, uniting the maple flooring with a limestone patio. This strategic design invites the ocean breeze & sounds of waves into the living space. The residence boasts high ceilings with precisely positioned lighting fixtures & an abundance of skylights, ensuring a harmonious play of light throughout. A Sonos audio system & radiant heating add to the modern conveniences. A bonus rec room, featuring roll-up doors open to an outdoor patio steps to the sand.

  • Jason95052
