Description

A study in steel, concrete, glass, and light, this West Coast modern masterpiece delivers a level of architectural sophistication rarely found in the North Shore. Defined by dramatic clean lines, soaring volumes, and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, the residence blurs the distinction between indoor and outdoor living while showcasing meticulous engineering and design at every turn. A striking two-story foyer anchored by a floating staircase with solid wood treads, steel framing, and glass railings introduces interiors finished in a refined palette of porcelain tile, warm wood accents, and gallery-inspired white walls. The main level unfolds with expansive entertaining spaces including a breathtaking living room centered around a sleek porcelain-clad fireplace and opening seamlessly to the terrace through folding glass walls. The dining room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and illuminated by a sculptural installation of hand-shaped acrylic pendants seemingly suspended in midair. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is both functional and architectural, appointed with honed quartz surfaces, a statement island with seating, and a full suite of Signature Kitchen Suite appliances including a professional-grade six-burner range with griddle, double ovens, integrated refrigeration, and designer ventilation. A butler's pantry with wine refrigeration and direct patio access enhances entertaining, while a private office with custom built-ins, a designer full bath, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom complete the main level. The second floor is dedicated to luxurious private spaces. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a dramatic wood slat accent wall, expansive sitting area wrapped in glass, and folding doors opening to a covered balcony. The spa-inspired bath rivals a boutique hotel experience with dual quartz vanities, a freestanding soaking tub with Kohler DTV digital controls and ceiling-mounted laminar filler, and an oversized shower clad in porcelain tile and marble herringbone flooring with multiple body sprays and rainfall fixtures. The boutique-style dressing room offers custom cabinetry, integrated lighting, a center island, and glass-topped jewelry displays. A private ensuite bedroom, two additional bedrooms sharing a beautifully appointed bath, a second office surrounded by glass, and a fully equipped laundry room complete the upper level. The finished lower level extends the home's living and entertaining capabilities with a spacious recreation room, guest bedroom with walk-in closet, designer bath, and generous storage areas. Beyond its striking appearance, the residence was engineered with an uncompromising commitment to durability, performance, and longevity. Constructed using light-gauge steel framing throughout, steel floor and roof truss systems, and an insulated TPO roofing system, the home represents a level of construction rarely available in residential architecture. Expansive commercial-grade aluminum-framed windows feature double-glazed, argon-filled insulated glass units with reflective coatings, advanced thermal breaks, enhanced acoustic insulation, and exceptional energy performance. Modern infrastructure includes dual Navien tankless water heaters, two-zone HVAC with Nest controls, CAT-6 wiring and Wi-Fi access points, 400-amp underground electrical service, fire sprinkler protection, irrigation system, and a three-car tandem garage with insulated aluminum-and-glass overhead doors. Bold yet timeless, minimalist yet warm, this is more than a home, it is a modern architectural statement designed for those who appreciate exceptional design, superior construction, and a lifestyle defined by light, volume, and effortless sophistication.
