Surf House sits at the edge of one of the most beautiful, wild, and biologically diverse treasures in the world- the Monterey Bay. Designed by Feldman Architecture and Commune Design, this award winning home fits into the coastline as if created by nature's hand. Lovingly crafted from reclaimed and repurposed Monterey Cypress, the refined elegance of this two-story home reflects the natural world, and the culture and values of the world-renowned neighborhood in which it resides. Heartwood from Monterey Cypress was integrated into all aspects of Surf House's design. The resplendent floors, paneling and cabinetry glow in the natural sunlight that illumines this gloriously tranquil home. Surf House is roughly 700 feet to access stairs leading to The Hook, one of many nearby crown jewels in the Santa Cruz World Surfing Reserve. A few of many highlights include a chef's kitchen, an outdoor kitchen, a copper jacuzzi, an infrared sauna, and a surfboard room with wet bar, overlooking a private courtyard with a fireplace. From the front courtyard through the cascading floor to ceiling-high doors of the Great Room, there are stunning views, and vibrant life-affirming rhythms of the Bay- a paradise of solace, an entertainers playground, a sanctuary of inspiration and peace.

Let's start with the obvious: whoever designed this house refused to waste a single ocean view. Every room was thoughtfully positioned to capture the water. Sitting in the living room? Ocean. Cooking in the kitchen? Ocean. Gathered around the dining table? Still ocean. Large windows pull the coastline into the home so the views are part of everyday life. The kitchen & dining area may have the best seats in the house. Cooking dinner here means watching the waves roll in while the sky slowly shifts toward sunset. High-end appliances, a wine fridge & thoughtful upgrades make the space as functional as it is beautiful. Step out onto the spacious deck & the view opens up even more. It's perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or simply letting the sound of the ocean do its thing. When you're ready for the sand, private steps lead down toward the beach. The Point is just down the street ready for some surf. Another rare bonus: after nearly two years of work, Coastal Commission approval has been secured to re-stack the shoreline rocks, something many coastal homes never get. And yes sunsets here are exactly as good as you're hoping they are.
