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.
