On the upper level, the grand cupolaed living room & open kitchen & their decks all enjoy spectacular views of the Pacific. The primary suite faces a fireplace with floor to ceiling glass allowing ocean views on each side, and the radiant heated marble floor bathroom's tub looks into it's own secret garden. Also upstairs is a traditional Japanese room with it's own zen garden with Bodhi Tree, as well as a study/kids room, a 1/2 bath, and a garage with interior access into the home. The lower level features a gorgeous Meunnig designed curved desk facing fireplace and ocean atop the heated Italian stone floor set between 2 bdrms, a bath, and 4 entrances to the oceanfront gardens.
