Marine metaphors sophisticatedly punctuate the design, with vintage 1960s italian mohair chairs representing birds on the sand and chrysanthemum root from Hong Kong the Home's elegant "driftwood". A two story, 17-Foot carved ceramic fireplace by local artist Stan bitters commands the living room which like the rest of the house, is layered in warm, honey-colored wood paneling that evokes a sense of being on a classic sailing yacht.

Touches of vintage glamour accent the 3,500 sq-ft space, from a 1960s Italian brass and gunmetal chandelier to a set of Warren Platner chairs. This residence is featured in Wearstler's tome, Rhapsody.
