From the Agent: "A pinnacle of oceanfront living awaits in the coveted locale of Pacific City, designed by the esteemed architect Robert Harvey Oschatz. The home’s design, characterized by repeating 12-degree angles, creates a dynamic interplay of sunlight and space, casting playful rainbows throughout its rooms. Designed with hosting in mind, the residence features three main-level bedrooms for adults, while the lower level offers a dormitory-style playroom with bunk beds and a full bathroom. Seclusion and natural light were paramount in the design, achieved through strategic window placement and a grand expanse of clerestory glazing that bathes the interior in daylight while preserving privacy. Upon entry through a solid gate into a courtyard, the home unfolds to reveal an open family, living, and kitchen space, adorned with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that embrace panoramic ocean views. Custom touches abound, from bird’s-eye maple cabinets to rough-hewn granite countertops and a handblown jellyfish chandelier illuminating the dining area. Outdoor living is seamlessly integrated, offering sheltered spaces to enjoy the coastal panorama while being shielded from ocean winds."
