A nondescript, 1980’s box, with views from the Queen’s Necklace to Channel Islands, was taken down to stud, reconfigured and made smaller in order to enlarge the oceanfront deck. The resulting 3000 square foot house was clad in hand-hewn limestone to create a residence reminiscent of the south of France. And, like The Sandcastle, a 15’ X 50’ weed-covered parking berm was given new life as a mini-vineyard planted with Cote de Rhone grape vines. The new owner is a wonderful hostess and her yearly Stone House Pinot Noir debut party has become legendary!
