erings and guests alike. Unexpected and
unusual, "It is one of the coolest rooms I've
ever seen," says Stroyke. Overlooking the
media room, an open, loft-like space with
an industrial vibe is currently set up as an
elevated home gym with an additional bath.
For privacy, the master suite is a tranquil,
high-tone retreat anchored by an ocean-fac-
ing built-in bed platform and yet another set
of room-height Schüco sliders that open to a
private outdoor deck for a space consumed
in decadent views of the liquid horizon
beyond. A beverage center and a generous
customized closet with both ample storage
and a second laundry set-up add substance
to the style of this suite, which culminates in
the luxe master bath. Styled like a minimal-
ist modern spa, it too is a refuge—sleek and
atmospheric with linear lighting lending an
elegant precision to a simple yet exquisite
arrangement: dual-sink vanity topped with
a sumptuous stone, outstanding walk-in
shower with built-in bench, and contempo-
rary corner tub with ocean view.
Balancing visual beauty with daily ease,
the residence also features an innovative
home office with a custom sit-stand desk
and large glass blackboard, a beach-level
walk-in surf shower, an Italian-made glass
and steel elevator from Elevator Boutique
and a car lift-ready garage. Plus, cutting-
edge tech throughout: Crestron automation
(including three Creston-controlled parallel
opening windows providing a substantial
increase in natural airflow), 6-zone HVAC,
whole house water filtration and three
17-stage reverse osmosis systems. There
is radiant heat on all five levels, as well.
All of it plus prime access to the sand
and storied El Porto surf beyond.
"Some home are built to impress. Others
are built to endure," Stroyke says. "This
residence was built to become one of the
defining modern homes on The Strand."
breath-taking scene, and spectacular floor-
to-ceiling Schüco sliders that open to the
grand outdoor deck with a copper-clad spa
that reflects the richness of golden amber
sunsets as routine as the rolling waves.
Life at the top defines most Strand
houses, but this residence is a double act,
capturing a big moment on the bottom level,
too. Here the media room is at max volume.
Featuring soaring 20-foot-high ceilings and
a stunning two-story green wall with koi
pond, the space has a movie theater and
kitchenette at its heart, with a murphy bed,
full bath and laundry room on the periphery
for a refined yet relaxing hub ideal for gath-
