less feel in the residence, which was built in
the late 20th century. "It's the perfect place
to come in and add one's personal stamp,"
says Stroyke of the space, which possesses
an enduring canvas distinguished by fresh
Strand style perennials like floor-to-ceiling
glass and earthy, wood-plank floors.
In the sunlit living room, for instance,
white coffered ceilings play against the
vivid blues of sky and ocean, and sunsets
are even more electric when beach air
breezes through arched doorways and
flames flicker in the fireplace. It's a scene
that never gets old. Step onto the roomy
balcony, sitting high above—and nicely
private—from Strand passersby, and watch
surfers gliding through the waves, or listen
to waves crashing at night.
The user-friendly floorplan includes three
bedrooms—one bedroom on each floor, and
each with a private bathroom. (Architec-
tural plans exist to add a fourth bedroom,
if desired.) The middle level is home to
an oceanview primary suite where you can
lounge in a sunlit nook, surrounded by floor-
to-ceiling bay windows, or enjoy your coffee
on an intimate beachfront balcony. A distinc-
tive feature in the suite is the presence of
two full bathrooms, each with a separate
entrance, but linked by joint access to the
roomy shower and walk-in closet.
"It combines great square footage
on an oversized lot," says Stroyke of the
home, "and in a really great location." The
Pacific Ocean at this address is particularly
welcoming: There's a wide beachfront that's
flat and easy to navigate, beckoning you
outdoors for an early morning swim or jog,
or an afternoon of beach volleyball. Indoors,
you're in a classic Strand home with a
luxurious selection of multi-use gathering
spaces, each crafted in elevated materials
and able to smoothly morph from traditional
elegance to weekend casual—all to suit the
different moods of life at the beach.
