Step into a living work of art at this whimsical triangular beach house, where bold architecture meets creative flair. This unique home is a celebration of form and function, featuring dramatic angles, sun-drenched interiors, and vibrant, custom finishes throughout. Eco-friendly touches-like solar panels ensure this artistic masterpiece is as sustainable as it is stylish. The open-concept living space is flooded with natural light from expansive windows and vaulted ceiling, letting in that ocean breeze, blurring the line between indoors and out. The kitchen dazzles with high end appliances and birch burl cabinetry made from a single tree. Upstairs, the airy loft like primary bedroom feels like a private sanctuary, with dual private terraces offering stunning sunrise and sunset views. Two thoughtfully designed bathrooms add comfort and convenience in the main house. The thoughtfully crafted ADU is fully permitted and self-contained, featuring its own private address and entrance, open concept living and sleeping area, a modern kitchen with quartz countertops and full bathroom. Beautiful fireplace and laundry just add to the desirability and options this second living space offers. Outside, multiple terraces make for minimal yard work, allowing you the luxury of basking in the sun, dining al fresco, or simply marveling at the beauty Leucadia has to offer. Every detail of the architectural lines was designed with both functionality and a whimsical spirit in mind. One of a kind, this home is a true conversation piece and an unforgettable beach house. Sellers are offering a carpet credit for the bedrooms so you can put your own personal stamp on this beautiful home.
