CLOSE-MINDED: Located steps from Overlook Park and minutes from beaches, Torrey Pines and Del Mar, this Alta Mar home feels like it’s close to everything. The neighborhood’s community gathering places, including One Paseo and Del Mar Highlands Town Center, offer shopping and restaurants right down the road.

POOLING RESOURCES: Eight passive solar panels heat the pool. An array of 26 active panels service the home. To say this home has great energy is an understatement.

RIGHT ON TRACK: The home’s tropical landscaping and mature trees frame forever views above where “the surf meets the turf,” giving every day a photo finish — and an Instagram moment.

BATHROOMS APRIL SHOWERS (AND FREESTANDING BATHS)

BY DAVID PERLOFF When Bobby Darin recorded “Splish Splash” in April 1958, he wasn’t singing about a shower. Dude was taking a bath. Not the kind of bath crypto investors have been taking this year, but the long, hot-soak-inthe-tub-by-the-window-with-the-view kind of bath.

If you’re bath ain’t makin’ a splash, may these shower and bath projects by Lars Remodeling & Design inspire your home’s next liquid asset.

Wet Your Appetite R ANC H O BER NAR DO, 202 1 Freestanding tubs offer more flexibility in terms of positioning.

“As long as there’s adjacent plumbing, you can place your freestanding tub with the best possible view,” says Jason Larson, founder of Lars Remodeling & Design.

APRIL 2022 | neighborhoodist.com/carmelvalley

Making a Splash D E L MAR , 202 1 “This bathroom was designed to be centered around this free-standing bathtub,” Larson says. “The herringbone accent tile plays well with the floor tile’s textured , grey tones.”

Material Wealth CARMEL VALLEY, 2021 This spa-like oasis has porcelain tile, a wooden vanity and marble walls.

“The star of this bathroom is the large, freestanding soaking tub,” Larson says.

Whatever Floats Your Boat L A JOLL A , 202 1 This gravity-defying vanity cabinet stays off the floor to lend an open, airy look. “Indirect lighting from beneath the vanity adds a degree of depth and intrigue,” Larson says.
