Inspired by ocean views and the natural wooded beauty of Purisima Creek Open Space, this home embraces its remarkable setting with guiding principles of authentic Japanese aesthetics. By renowned architect Paul Discoe, noted for Larry Ellisons Japanese estate in Woodside, the home emphasizes the elements of Japanese construction with extensive use of cedar and old-growth whole fir logs that compose the soaring ceiling. Hand-carved joinery rather than nails render a Zen-like ambiance. Solid wood Shoji-style sliders that serve as room dividers and wide plank wood floors further express the emphasis on the natural world. Pacific Ocean views guarantee magical sunsets year round. Underneath the signature peaked roofline are a great room, 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and a large loft. An adjoining wing includes 2 flexible-use rooms and a half-bath. Whether a primary residence or a weekend retreat from the fast pace of high-tech, this is indeed a very special place to call home.
