341 Harbor View Ave, Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Property Description

The Japanese influence on Modernism is clearly visible in this artful ocean-view home at the top of the Pismo Beach bluffs. Handcrafted like furniture by a team of Cal Poly architects in the early 1970's, the original 1950's beach cottage was transformed into a cohesive work of art. Grounded in the four classical elements (earth, air, fire and water), the post and beam structure grows organically from the site, responding gracefully to the beach environment. Here, koi pond and swimming pool are metaphors for the Pacific, floor-to-ceiling windows capture ocean breezes, and the hearth is the heart of the home. An outdoor pergola connects indoor rooms with outdoor living areas, and a separate studio is ideal for out of town guests and rooftop views. The attention to detail is truly inspirational: all-wood construction, custom joinery, leaded glass, butt-glazed corners, marble counters, sand-set pavers. 3 BD, 2BA, 1,525 SF, 8,393 SF lot.
