Few private oceanfront communities in Southern California overlook as scenic a beach as The Strand. This recently completed Strand oceanfront residence of approx. 9,000 sq. Ft. Offers the uncommon chance to live on the beach without sacrificing the amenities or security of a proper home. Occupying the most enviably sited parcel on this beach, this villa enjoys numerous vistas of the Pacific, islands, and sunsets. Interior spaces open seamlessly to loggias, terraces, and Mediterranean gardens overlooking the ocean. The defining features of Italianate architecture have been artfully blended with an informal plan to create a home that is grand and substantial, as well as warm and inviting. The impressive 3-story residence is built around a courtyard awash in sunlight optimizing privacy, light, and ventilation. An ever-present relationship to the ocean is experienced in every significant room, and expertly arranged and appointed interior and exterior spaces make living here a delight.
