  Original, Inviting, Colorful, Contemporary Oceanic Paradise Home on Huntington Harbour The first thing visitors notice about the completely renovated, oceanic paradise waterfront home on Peale Lane of Huntington Beach’s Gilbert Island is that while it is quite contemporary in design, its interiors are warmly inviting, curvaceous and softly colorful. Only after further exploration does another outstanding quality reveal itself: easy use of key areas for more than one purpose makes the 5,100-sq.-ft. home comfortably “large” beyond its size. For example, the largest of the two first-floor bedrooms (the home has four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom), faces the harbor and has an “in wall” pocket door that, when opened, allows the room to double splendidly as a day room/ den or office. It adjoins the spectacular main living room, where a crescent of harbor-front windows subtly evokes the sense of being on the fantail of a private cruise ship. The second main-floor bedroom, with private access to the side yard, can double as a maid’s room. This lower bedroom wing connects via its own hallway to the main entry, living room, jewel box powder room, and sophisticated beach-toned kitchen and dining room. It also connects to a waterfront patio with an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, alfresco dining, generous seating, and a concrete dock for up to a 55-foot yacht. Flexibility and ease of flow are likewise designed into the upper floor’s exceptionally well equipped theater room and library with bar: adjoining executive office that can double as a game room, a second upstairs office/gym and hobby room; landing with player piano; two adjoining elegant masters; and exterior decks that access the roof-top observation deck and dockside patio. An oversized two-car garage is configured to accommodate catering companies that need to keep a low profile during large parties, for which this home is ideal. Some other notable features include slab marble and walnut floors; architectural details such as walnut wall panels and furniture grade cabinetry combined with stainless steel and curved glass block walls; a breathtaking upstairs main master suite with amenities that include a master bath with a spectacular two person shower and “air jetted” spa tub; view through fireplace; book-matched white marble; LED lighting in all steps and ceiling soffits; and a look-through tropical aquarium between the kitchen and main living areas. The home is offered for $3,875,000 turnkey furnished by Sean Stanfield of First Team Real Estate. For details, call 714-421-3377 or visit www.16531PealeLane.com or www.seanstanfield.com.
