1412 Laurel Avenue

When the owners embarked on building their custom dream home, an authentic East Coast Cape Cod with a touch of Southern influences, the first thing to do was find a premier location and lot. Fortunately, they found a large, uphill lot located just 3.5 blocks to downtown, 5 blocks to the beach and steps to American Martyrs & Pacific Schools. To incorporate the style, design and warmth of the South, reclaimed bricks were imported from Charleston, South Carolina. A lighthouse tower was added on top of the 2nd floor, majestically standing guard over the home & neighborhood. The owners completed the home in 2015 with the steady hand of Gary Lane Design+Build. Entering the home, past a cheery brick patio through an impressive 9’ tall Dutch door, step into the vaulted foyer and look up the dramatic light house tower above. The 8” wide grey hued plank wood floor is perfectly juxtaposed against the white wainscoting, T&G, detailed crown moldings, and coffered ceilings and paneling. On the right is a picture-perfect formal dining room with a faux fireplace. To the left, one finds a bright study room, powder room, and an oversized mudroom with an extra washer/dryer set. Moving east, an expansive family/great room with 10’ coffered ceilings and a wall of La Cantina bi-folding doors allow for the ultimate indoor/outdoor experience. The patio features a fireplace, surround sound, all-weather flat screen TV, new 4 burner Saber BBQ and UV heat, and an outdoor covered dining area for year round enjoyment. The home boasts an impressive gourmet kitchen with an oversized stone island, world class dining nook, expansive pantry and a bevy of top of the line appliances: stand alone SubZero fridge/freezer, Wolf countertop stove & microwave, 2 Bosch ultrasonic dishwashers, double ovens, and GE Monogram wine fridge. The flat backyard has turf/concrete. The lower level consists of basement with a professional bar, 2 GE Monogram fridge drawers, plus one with an ice maker, a family room & movie viewing area with surround sound, a guest bedroom/bath, playroom and 2 offices. On the 3rd floor, 2 sizable, separate Jack & Jill bathrooms connect 4 bedrooms along with the laundry room and master suite with an oversized jetted/soaking tub, steam shower, his/hers closets & surround sound. Sparing no expense, imported French Limestone, luxury wallpaper, 2 AC units installed in 2020, 2 tankless water heaters and HD security cameras w/hard drive, are a few of the premium selections and upgrades.
