The 5,000-square-foot parcel is relatively small for a luxury estate at this price point, which limits traditional yard space and garden areas compared to mainland properties.
Situated on Humboldt Island, the property is located in a dense residential environment where close proximity to neighboring homes may impact the overall sense of seclusion and privacy.
Properties with this rare combination of views and scale are seldom offered along the coveted main channel of Huntington Harbour. Set on a 5,000-square-foot parcel, the home and its private surroundings are arranged in deliberate sequence, maintaining a unique connection to the open water and its splendor. Reconstructed by notable architect Karen T. Otis as a beautiful exploration of light, water, and movement, the structure is articulated through craftsmanship quality; a thoughtful, enduring layout; and a light, textural palette. An immediate atmosphere of volume and detail is realized through a spacious, gated courtyard and atrium, continuing to a striking two-story foyer with a sky-lit oculus, and an ambient water feature delicately defining the entry’s perimeter. The principal level unfolds as an open expanse encompassing a generously proportioned kitchen, formal and informal living and dining areas – all with captivating triple-channel view orientations. Walls of glass retract to extend the interior to a waterside terrace, along with an all-glass room to enjoy the on-water environment at any time or season. The second-level accommodations were carefully planned to enhance privacy, with the resort-style primary suite and wardrobe room positioned to capture panoramic views from nearly every vantage, along with its own channel-front balcony. A third-level observation and entertaining deck – an uncommon attribute of homes in the region – presents an extension of livability amidst a spectacular canvas of tranquil waterways, sunsets, and city lights. Crowning the property is a recently upgraded private dock with berthing capacity for an approximate 65’ vessel and additional craft up to about 30’; as well as a dock extension with a ‘floating’ spa and lounge area ideal for enjoying the water’s edge. Additional complements to this exceptional offering – an elevator; refined finishes; custom millwork; abundant storage; whole-house solar; tankless water heating; a finished three-car garage with space for two vehicles in-drive; along with direct access to the Harbour’s main channel, and close proximity to famed Mothers Beach, and the finest local amenities, resources and recreation.
