The story
- Basement
Perched within the historic enclave of Crestwood Hills, the Gelber Residence is a Late Modern masterpiece by esteemed architect Martin Gelber, FAIA. This sculptural home is instantly recognizable by its striking exterior "fins" which are aligned to the sun and naturally help keep the house cool throughout the summer.Inside, the home is a beautiful sanctuary of light anchored by soaring 18-foot Clear Heart Redwood ceilings. The street-level entry thoughtfully hosts an office, a studio, and a primary suite featuring its own fireplace. Both the studio and primary suite open to private decks where the Pacific Ocean takes center stage, offering sweeping blue-water views.A descent down the ergonomic stairway, illuminated by a dramatic oculus, leads to a guest bedroom with its own private deck. The heart of the home unfolds into a magnificent open-concept living and dining area, where floor-to-ceiling glass and the views invite outside to the wrap-around deck. Below the residence, the large, natural lot provides a serene sense of space and connection to the landscape. Whether you're relaxing in the conversation nook or entertaining by the second fireplace the openess and quiet of the property extends in all directions.
