BEACHFRONT CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC Carpinteria, California
BEACHFRONT CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC ON THE SANTA BARBARA COAST Nestled on a sun-drenched knoll overlooking the majesty of the blue Pacific, this year-round beachfront residence is a modern tribute to form following function. Every design element of this luxuriously sophisticated home celebrates its oceanfront location by blurring the distinction between the indoors and out. An open floor plan highlighted by an abundance of glass infuses the living spaces with light and plays to powerful ocean vistas. Whitewater, deep water and coastline views showcase an everchanging variety of subjects including playful dolphins, migrating whales; and brilliant sunsets. A stunning juxtaposition of modern architectural design against the splendor and antiquity of a cerulean sea has produced a haven of serenity that is in perfect harmony with its pristine setting. In keeping with its modern sensibility, the home has pure and clean lines.
The sleek aesthetic of this modern masterpiece is warmed with rich textures and materials that include mahogany, cherry, travertine, and limestone. Other fine elements suggest the soothing properties of water such as custom glass tiles, frosted glass and smooth hardware. While each of these elements has been selected for beauty and function, each lends a quiet sense of luxury that fittingly pays homage to the sea. Throughout the home, the palette of soft colors and rich textures are reminiscent of sand, seawater, sun-bleached shells, rocks, driftwood, and magnificent sailing vessels. Soaking up the spectacular water views, the main living space is anchored by a spacious living room that flows in one direction to the library and in the other direction to the dining room. While the deep blue sea takes center stage, affection runs high for the lush creek side setting which graces the northern exposure of the home. Here, another wonderful library/office takes advantage of the creek side view as well as the beautiful Santa Barbara light. Centrally located to
each of these areas and concealed behind a handsome set of mahogany doors is a wet bar fitted with a Viking wine cooler. Just beyond the dining area, an amazing eat-in kitchen elevates cooking to an art form. A visual delight and a functional beauty, this Italian designed kitchen is by Snaidero. Elegant cherry cabinetry and the center island are topped with buttery colored limestone. Dressed to the nines, this kitchen features: Sub-Zero refrigeration, full-size plus two additional drawer units; Bosch dishwasher plus an additional Fisher Paykal drawer unit; professionalViking Range; professional Sharp microwave; builtin Miele coffee/espresso maker; and two stainless sinks. While all of these top-of-the line bells and whistles would make any chef ’s heart sing, the Snaidero packaging takes this kitchen over the top. Utilizing the talents of automotive designers for the Ferrari brand, Snaidero delivers a kitchen with a passionate precision that is the hallmark of fine Italian design.
Falling asleep amidst cool sea breezes and the sound of the surf is a delight in the home’s five ocean view bedroom suites with spa-like baths. Four of the bedrooms occupy the main residence, while the fifth bedroom is part of a two-level attached guest apartment. The plush amenities of these private quarters include a separate entrance, living room, kitchenette, bedroom, bath, fireplace and balcony. Add the amazing view, and guests might be tempted to overstay their welcome. Back inside the main residence, the sumptuous master retreat sprawls over more than 1,300 square feet of sheer luxury. A restful and romantic ambiance infuses the suite as glass walls and doors invite inspirational views from every angle. Just beyond the glass, the balcony is a perfect venue for sunbathing, sunsets and stargazing. Thoughts turn to relaxation and rejuvenation upon entering the first of two private spa baths. The Ocean Bath has a water orientation and is bedecked with marble and glass tiles that mimic the varied colors
of seawater. A fabulous tub sits with a commanding ocean view, and just steps away is a dual-head steam shower. A generous console sink and a separate water closet are additional features in this spa-like environment. Italian is also spoken here as the door opens to the ultimate in dressing closets designed by Snaidero. Because two is often better than one, a second and every bit as impressive bath graces this expansive retreat. The Zen Bath opens to lush green views of the creek. Soft, warm earthly hues play out in custom glass tiles and natural stone surfaces that add to the soothing atmosphere. The perfect spot for meditation, a jetted tub is the centerpiece in this sanctuary. Finishing the bath

amenities is a rain shower and a beautiful console sink. Repeating the theme of “two are better than one,” another fabulous Snaidero closet adjoins the Zen Bath. While the indoor amenities of this serene dwelling are exceptional, the great appeal of the sun, sea and surf has a magnetism that is hard to resist. In all seasons, the grand terrace off the main living level and the private seaside beach pavilion provide endless entertainment options as well as a comfortable spot for soaking up the easy Santa Barbara lifestyle.
