Given that the entire inclination of this house, from tidy curb to eye-catching roofline, is to ascend, one enters the house and immediately gravitates to the second floor where, along with a laundry room, is the ocean-view primary suite, complete with a kitchenette, a bedroom with full EMF shield (one of Kim's less visible but impactful choices), and a private deck from which to sip a morning espresso and lose yourself to the shifting hues of the horizon. For added sanctuary, the primary bath, with a built-in double vanity made of walnut and a custom medicine cabinet with built-in LED lighting, offers all the indulgences of a spa, including a standalone tub and floor-to-ceiling glass and porcelain tile shower with floating bench and integrated steam system. Life at the top level of this house is truly sublime. At one end is the congenial, sunlit living area with a recessed projector mounted from the ceiling.

At the heart of the upper level, the fully customized showpiece kitchen might be content as a chef 's dream were it not already reality. A high-performing hub, the space draws warmth from custom-built, European-style walnut cabinets, and attention for its impeccable Neolith porcelain countertops—both elements distinguishing this crisp, clean-lined space as one-of-a-kind and state-of-the- art. Not only smart but substantial, the space is anchored by a robust kitchen island and amply outfitted with a professional-grade Fischer & Paykel appliances, including a six-burner professional gas range, 30-inch refrigerator and 18-inch freezer. A built-in coffee maker, warming drawer, conventional oven and vacuum seal drawer, meanwhile, comprise the appliance tower. Finally, one can only raise a glass to the wet bar, another Fisher & Paykel standout featuring a full-height wine cooler and undercounter beverage fridge. Just past the kitchen, directly opposite the living area, a sunny alcove serves as workspace with access to another smaller deck. Gaze past the glass and it 's likely that any "work" is probably not work for long.
