Set just a few blocks from the sand, this custom-built modern residence offers protected ocean views, elevated design, and a seamless indoor-outdoor coastal lifestyle that feels both refined and effortless.

Thoughtfully reimagined by Kate Lester Designs, the home is defined by clean lines, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass that flood the interiors with natural light. White oak floors run throughout, grounding the space in a warm, organic palette that perfectly complements the coastal setting.

The top-level great room is the true showpiece—an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space where panoramic ocean views take center stage from nearly every angle. Expansive pocket doors disappear completely, opening the home to ocean breezes and golden sunsets, creating a setting that feels as much like an experience as it does a living space. The kitchen is both functional and striking, featuring Neolith Calcutta countertops, high-end appliances, and an oversized island designed for gathering.

A floating staircase and 4-stop elevator connect all levels, leading to a serene primary suite complete with a private ocean-view balcony, fireplace, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and oversized shower. Each space throughout the home has been curated with intention—balancing modern design with everyday livability.

The lower level offers a flexible entertainer’s suite – ideal as a media room, gym, or guest retreat—adding versatility to the home’s already thoughtful layout.

With multiple outdoor spaces, high-end finishes throughout, and a rare height restriction easement protecting the views, this home captures the essence of South Bay living—where architecture, light, and the ocean come together in a way that feels both elevated and completely at ease.
