Casa Cowells is beyond words. Perched on West Cliff Drive's historic Millionaires' Row, this custom luxury estate is a rare oceanfront offering, designed around the water. From the kitchen and dining area, great room, upstairs living room, and both primary suites, the easterly panorama unfolds: ocean, wharf, beach, boardwalk, epic sunrises, and long ridgelines of the Santa Cruz Mountains beyond, turning this coastline into something closer to a moving picture, than a window. Rooted in Spanish Mediterranean tradition, the home pairs clay tile, stucco, arched openings, wrought iron, hand-painted Talavera tile, and Saltillo flooring with effortless coastal rhythm. LaCantina doors pocket into walls, dissolving lines between indoors and out. A spacious heated lanai invites connection. Underfoot, warm, seamless radiant concrete floor by renowned artisan Tom Ralston, tinted in a Monet finish, is inspired by the sand at nearby Cowells Beach. An antique stained-glass fanlight crowns the entry, filtering brilliant color into the living space. Rainwater harvesting system supports the summer garden oasis. Designed by Craycroft, Green Building Award winning and ADA-designed, Casa Cowells was created with thoughtful intention. This coastal sanctuary was designed to make everyday life better.
