The 774 Street property, named for its street-side location distinct from the bay-side 774A, is designed by architect Mike Macarena. 774 Street was developed with an emphasis on simplicity and elegance, aimed at a more accessible price point than typical high-end spec builds. The house was intentionally kept to two stories to avoid overbuilding. Despite its simpler design, the property does not compromise on quality. The layout includes five bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for all occupants. The main floor features a wide-open entertainment space that integrates the kitchen, dining, and living areas seamlessly, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings.
The interior of the house showcases high-end finishes, including a custom millwork kitchen by a local fabricator and a suite of Thermador appliances. The floors are adorned with imported Italian tiles, with the first floor featuring wood-look porcelain tiles that combine the aesthetics of wood with the durability of porcelain. These tiles are further enhanced with an underfloor Schluter radiant heat system, providing both warmth and comfort. The bathrooms are equipped with high-end Kohler fixtures, with custom vanities in the master and cabana baths.
Externally, the house is clad in an innovative synthetic siding made from recycled rice hulls. This offers the look of cedar with superior durability. This eco-friendly material is resistant to water, bugs and can be submerged or buried without damage. The trimless windows, complemented by AZEK trim work, and the black Viewrail railings with integrated LED lighting add to the home's modern aesthetic. The balconies are finished with porcelain stones on pedestals, ensuring longevity and resistance to weather elements. The property also boasts energy-efficient Marvin coastal-grade windows and a Mitsubishi Hyperheat heat pump system, aligning with contemporary standards for comfort and efficiency. Overall, 774 Street stands out as a thoughtfully designed, high-quality home that harmonizes luxury and practicality.
