2704 Mackinnon Ranch Road, Cardiff By The Sea, CA 92007

Stunning detached lagoon-front residence with panoramic south-facing ocean views and editorial-caliber design. Come tour this soulfully curated home, pairing loftlike flow with a spectacular primary suite, gourmet kitchen, and Bali-inspired backyard. [SEE link for video/brochure]. The design immediately impresses with elegant finishes and cohesive styling. The décor leans more classic than on-trend but also takes some daring turns, each landing beautifully. Several architectural refinements have been made, squaring off and opening room transitions, and modernizing stairway railings and other features like mantlepieces, built-ins, alcoves, wet bars — all of which follow the same design-language. Visitors are immediately greeted with adjacent, well-proportioned, living and dining rooms, with a slider opening to a generous balcony spanning the width of the building. Both rooms feature oversized windows that flood the home with natural light and offer stunning views of lush tropical foliage, upscale homes, and meandering lagoon waterways followed by a bright blue band of Pacific Ocean. Heading deeper into the home, a large gourmet kitchen overlooks a family room that spills into a transcendent private backyard. The kitchen is intuitive, with an island bar counter that invite occupants from every angle to spread out and enjoy meals, drinks, and conversation. Taken together, the kitchen, family room, and backyard read as a single living environment, naturally drawing you to the lush outdoor setting beyond. Transitioning through an elegant covered patio, a completely unexpected setting emerges, with dark tropical hardwood custom fencing, Moroccan-inspired Italian tilework, tropical landscaping, cantilevered parasol umbrellas, wrought iron privacy elements, ambient lighting, a built-in grilling area, fire table, and water features. The effect is transportive and sublime. Part outdoor living room, part private retreat, these spaces function as a natural extension of the home's interior living areas. Every aspect of this yard, as well as the front balconies, has been thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. The 'Seaside' community is a lagoon-front enclave of 44 detached homes surrounded by lush mature landscaping and executive-style atmosphere. MacKinnon Ranch Road is a quiet residential street dotted with stately homes, a roundabout, and community pool. The subject property belongs to a collection of five homes with south-facing ocean and lagoon views. There is a tranquil vibe to the whole community, but this northern section exudes an extra sense of decompression, like the feeling of coming home. [SEE video/brochure link for more]
