Santa Cruz County
Description
Experience iconic Northern California Modernism at 519 Cliff Drive, a 1968 architectural masterpiece in the coveted beachside enclave of Rio del Mar. Designed by a revered Northern California Architect as his family home, the 2,115 sqft embodies the era's signature architectural style: harmonious integration of the landscape with minimalist design creating a unique and calming lifestyle. The open plan flow features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, interior courtyard, private sundeck, laundry room and two car garage. Inside, a dramatic family room showcases a statement fireplace, iconic period furnishings and floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors throughout the house open onto an interior courtyard. But the true magic lies within its appreciation for the coastal climate and the grounds' long-standing Monterey Cypress, Himalayan Dogwoods, Maples and 'Aptos Blue' Redwoods and its prime proximity to the beach. A unique opportunity to own a piece of NorCal Modernist architectural history that is in original condition and has been lovingly maintained by the architects family, ideal for the architectural design enthusiast interested in performing updates and enhancements resulting in a one of a kind living experience.
