Perched high on a rocky bluff, this newly built home was designed from the ground up to frame panoramic ocean views and bring refined ease to everyday living. The original house was thoughtfully torn down to make way for this serene and artful home, a place where timeless design meets modern functionality.

At the heart of the home is a kitchen made for both culinary performance and effortless entertaining. Dual islands define the space: one with a prep sink and ample storage, and the other designed for gathering, featuring a marble countertop that transitions into a custom walnut dining space. This warm, inviting centerpiece fosters casual dining, connection, and conversation. A sculptural brass-accented range hood, hand-glazed tile backsplash, and a mix of painted and natural wood cabinetry add depth and distinction to the space.

The adjacent living room continues the coastal palette with plush blue velvet swivel chairs, elegant drapery, and a fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, offering a quiet spot to relax while enjoying the ever-changing views just beyond the windows.

Throughout the home, distinctive spaces reflect the homeowners’ personality and passions. A jewel-box powder room is layered with rich texture and pattern. The moody mudroom, outfitted in dramatic cabinetry and cloud-patterned wallpaper, sets a whimsical tone upon entry. A quietly luxurious pantry just off the kitchen shows that even tucked away storage can be elegantly designed.

A dedicated sunroom offers a quiet place to unplug, complete with beach views, its own fireplace and built-in shelving to showcase a selection of the clients’ beloved art collection. The nearby custom wine room boasts a custom-crafted glass front cabinet that balances display and function.
