There are solar panels for power, and a whole house fresh-air system (by Zehnder) that continually shuttles purified air into all living spaces. "There's also an Enphase battery system so you are never without power," adds Bell. And the beach is just steps away. Inside the secured gates of the Victoria Point community, you feel free to stroll barefoot to the sand anytime: For a vigorous swim at dawn, a mid-day surf session between meetings or a sunset stroll to cast away the pressures of the day. "The beaches are quiet and tend to only have people from the neighborhood," the agent points out. When you arrive home, there's a private patio for more luxuriating in the sun, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. When you feel like stepping out, Trancas Market is only a mile away. "Trancas Market has amazing restaurants, shopping and a grocery store," notes Bell. "All you need is right there." There's a host of other shops and eateries within a 10-minute drive, and Pacific Palisades and Thousand Oaks are a half-hour away by car. Notable is that the nearest road is Broad Beach Road, which runs parallel to PCH while being far enough to filter out noise and traffic. "Broad Beach Road is quite a distance from PCH," Bell explains. "You can hear the ocean; but you don't hear PCH." Back home, life is easy. In the living room, flames flicker in the fireplace and ocean views dominate. The kitchen, a hub of the home, is a sleekly inviting place with minimalist, custom cabinets and hearty Caesarstone countertops. There are gleam- ing fixtures by luxury makers Dornbracht and a suite of appliances by Sub-Zero and Wolf. And more Pacific Ocean views. "It's very modern, but still warm," says Bell of the style. You can sit at the built-in bright banquette and watch the bob of white-cap waves in the water, or dine on an adjoin- ing deck that's nicely cloistered with old-growth trees and thick shrubs. The lower level is home to a sun-splashed family room and three more roomy bedrooms, with bathrooms sporting a different designer tile scheme. It's the ideal floor for housing children or visitors; and like the main floor, there are ample ocean views and points of connection with the outdoors. You can soak up sun on a peaceful oceanview terrace or wander along paved pathways, exploring nooks of the deftly landscaped lot. Or venture down to the captivating coastline. "Victoria Point is very desirable, and not many properties ever come up for sale in this neighborhood," states Bell. Once they arrive, homeown- ers tend to stay in this community where privacy and easy living rule. "Most resi- dents have been here for a really long time, and they love it. It's really a special spot." A R C H I T E C T U R E + D E S I G N 54 DIGS.NET | 6.14.24
