Everyone knows the house. Set above a sweeping sandy cove at Faria Beach, the Susman House was designed by California Modernist architect Carl Maston, FAIA, in 1984. Cedar siding, clean lines, and expansive glass connect the home to the coastline.Enter the Susman House, and the ocean immediately draws your attention. An informal lounge is anchored by a double-sided fireplace. The lounge flows naturally into the dining area and kitchen. Seamless cabinetry and an original wood-slat ceiling give the kitchen a character all its own. On the other side of the fireplace, a den and a full bathroom tucked behind a cedar wall give a little architectural surprise.Throughout the lower level, wood beams overhead and custom brick flooring underfoot continue onto the patio, blurring the line between inside and out. Expansive wood windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors frame the ocean from nearly every angle.An open staircase leads upstairs, where vaulted ceilings and an adventure of angles shape the bedroom level. The primary suite has its own fireplace, ensuite bath, and private oceanfront deck. A second oceanfront suite offers another fireplace and ensuite bath, while a guest bedroom features a clever privacy divider and ensuite bath.Outside, the deck includes 42′ of oceanfrontage and one of California’s most famous surf breaks.Today, the Susman House remains remarkably original and true to Maston’s original vision. Cedar, brick, wood, glass, angles, and light come together in a home shaped by its surroundings, with the ocean always in view. It is a distinctly California modernist home, rooted in its place on the coast.Part of Faria Beach Colony, the home enjoys access to private beach entry points and a community tennis court.Visit www.MondosCove.com
