a sculptural coastal retreat
defined by its asymmetrical gabled roofline, this architecturally distinctive residence presents a striking yet understated form—one that reveals its upon entry. the uneven pitch creates volume and light where it matters most, offering soaring, vaulted ceilings on one side while preserving a warm, intimate scale on the other. thoughtfully restored by the current owners, the home has been reawakened with an emphasis on light, texture, and a seamless connection to its surround gardens.
the main residence unfolds as a refined loft-style environment where kitchen, living, and dining spaces exist in quiet harmony. a generous kitchen with breakfast bar anchors the space, while reimagined concrete floors, wood‑clad walls, exposed beams, and expansive windows create an atmosphere that is both modern and deeply rooted. natural light pours in throughout the day, animating the home’s soft, neutral palette. a wide, gracefully curved wooden staircase ascends to a lofted bedroom and bath—an elevated retreat floating above the living spaces below.
beyond a shared wall, the annex introduces a more intimate experience, designed for flexibility and privacy. a den, garden‑view sitting room, full bath, kitchenette, and bedroom form a self-contained suite—ideal for guests, extended stays, or creative pursuits—while maintaining a strong visual connection to the gardens outside.
the grounds are nothing short of transformative. what was once undeveloped has been carefully shaped, hand to shovel, into a private botanical sanctuary. nearly 300 plants and trees are woven into a series of garden rooms that flow effortlessly from one to the next. rhododendrons, camellias, ferns, fruit trees, and more than forty varieties of sage create layers of color, fragrance, and movement. the gardens have become a natural refuge for hummingbirds and pollinators alike. a flowering hedge and thoughtfully placed privacy fencing provide a serene buffer from the street, enhancing the sense of seclusion.
the location is as exceptional as the home itself. just moments from russian gulch trails and the historic point cabrillo lighthouse, and with access to the bluff trails at coast highlands, the coastline becomes an extension of daily life. bike to town, ride south to the caspar sea lion colony, or wander the bluffs below, where whales, sea lions, and the vast pacific offer a constantly shifting backdrop .
a rare convergence of architecture, landscape, and setting—this is a home designed not only to be lived in, but to be experienced.
