"Colonial-style homes are rare, especially in the South Bay. But
it's a timeless style that has a wonderful architectural sense to
it, and it fits in well at the beach." In this case, spacious rooms
are bathed in natural light and coastal views by way of soaring
ceilings and a generous fenestration system, which includes
oversized windows and glass doors at every turn. Balconies and
patios are plentiful, including a second floor balcony that extends
across nearly the whole of the home, and links together key
private spaces, like a marble-clad master bathroom, with ocean
air and glorious sea views. Such features overlay the proper
elegance of the home with a warm, contemporary atmosphere
not usually associated with such a traditional architectural style.
The property's classic imprint extends to outdoor spaces,
which are sculpted in classic garden landscaping, from box
hedges and a tiered garden fountain, to bushy palms wafting
from Italian urn planters. Fresh-air pleasures are everywhere.
