Representing a rare intersection of architectural pedigree and coastal serenity, this 1960s mid-century modern residence was designed by the renowned Chris Abel. Known for his mastery of wood, glass, and light, Abel’s signature aesthetic is on full display here, offering a living experience defined by structural elegance and an effortless connection to the environment.

The residence is a study in organic modernism, extensively updated in 2023 to harmonize heritage design with contemporary high-end finishes. The interiors are defined by beamed ceilings and an intentional selection of materials: hardwood reed flooring, solid-core wood doors with waterfall glass entry, and custom-shelved hickory cabinetry.
