Surrounded by old-growth cedar, this award-winning waterfront property was designed by Richard Henriquez and built in 1978.

It’s been renovated in phases for the last 20 years but still maintains its essence – West Coast modern aesthetic with a subtle Japanese influence.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors bring in a ton of light, making this main living space feel open and airy.

The stone fireplace is a focal point in the sunken living room that overlooks the property’s ocean, island, and mountain views.

If you thought this part of the house was peaceful, wait until you see the primary suite.

Clean, minimalist lines make this bedroom ultra-restorative. A spacious ensuite with floating cabinets and a deep soaker tub right by the window makes it feel like a private spa.

The other bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and spacious. They continue with the same design themes seen throughout the home.
