the best feelings." Marked by openness and
ease, the layout begins with a unique entry
level where the lofty two-story foyer, back-
dropped by that shimmering Pacific-blue
scene, leads to the open kitchen, dining
area, and a spacious living room. "You
can choose to walk up the open staircase
or take the vacuum elevator to the upper
level," Graw notes. "There, you'll find four
of the five bedrooms, including the primary
suite, which boasts a panoramic ocean view,
along with a well-appointed laundry room.
The lower level is accessed by a straight
staircase that begins in the living room and
ends in the family room. This family room is
one of my favorite areas of the home, offer-
ing endless design possibilities. It includes
a bar and kitchenette, a guest suite, and
sliding glass doors that open to an elevated,
landscaped patio that is both private and
perfect for entertaining."
Among these spaces are spectacles.
The gourmet kitchen is "an absolute enter-
tainer's dream," Graw gushes. Showcasing
three sinks, multiple refrigeration, two
separate ovens, a massive kitchen island
and more, the space is within conversa-
tional distance of the warm, inviting living
room, which opens to a sublime outdoor
deck equipped for a barbecue. "You might
come in for just a minute, but you'll find
yourself wanting to stay for the whole day,"
Graw says. "The home's elevation, situated
well above the sandy beach, provides a
breathtaking view of various elements: soft
sand, hard sand, whitewater, rolling waves,
and the distant horizon. You can truly appre-
ciate everything that each day has to offer."
That feeling extends to the fireplaced
primary suite. Wrapped in windows offer-
ing extravagant ocean views to the north
and south alike, this statement sanctuary
basks in serenity, bathes in sunlight and
loses itself to the dreamy endlessness of
both seascape and sky. Sliding glass doors,
meanwhile, introduce a soaring balcony,
this one curved and floating, like a crow's
nest on a ship, the perfect spot for relax-
ing in the rosy flush of sunset. "From here,"
Graw says, noting the more modest scale of
neighboring houses, "you feel as though you
are the only home on the beach."
There is certainly no home quite like it.
The aspirational location, the architectural
design, ocean views as decor, and ener-
gy-efficient features including fully paid
solar panels—4308 The Strand is the sum
of its spectacular parts. "It all adds up to a
rare opportunity at a great value," Graw says.
