Huntington Beach, CA 92649 16631 Carousel

Properties with this rare combination of views and scale are seldom offered along the coveted main channel of Huntington Harbour. Set on a 5,000-square-foot parcel, the home and its private surroundings are arranged in deliberate sequence, maintaining a unique connection to the open water and its splendor. Reconstructed by notable architect Karen T. Otis as a beautiful exploration of light, water, and movement, the structure is articulated through craftsmanship quality; a thoughtful, enduring layout; and a light, textural palette. An immediate atmosphere of volume and detail is realized through a spacious, gated courtyard and atrium, continuing to a striking two-story foyer with a sky-lit oculus, and an ambient water feature delicately defining the entry’s perimeter. The principal level unfolds as an open expanse encompassing a generously proportioned kitchen, formal and informal living and dining areas – all with captivating triple-channel view orientations. Walls of glass retract to extend the interior to a waterside terrace, along with an all-glass room to enjoy the on-water environment at any time or season. The second-level accommodations were carefully planned to enhance privacy, with the resort-style primary suite and wardrobe room positioned to capture panoramic views from nearly every vantage, along with its own channel-front balcony. A third-level observation and entertaining deck – an uncommon attribute of homes in the region – presents an extension of livability amidst a spectacular canvas of tranquil waterways, sunsets, and city lights. Crowning the property is a recently upgraded private dock with berthing capacity for an approximate 65’ vessel and additional craft up to about 30’; as well as a dock extension with a ‘floating’ spa and lounge area ideal for enjoying the water’s edge. Additional complements to this exceptional offering – an elevator; refined finishes; custom millwork; abundant storage; whole-house solar; tankless water heating; a finished three-car garage with space for two vehicles in-drive; along with direct access to the Harbour’s main channel, and close proximity to famed Mothers Beach, and the finest local amenities, resources and recreation.
