HEARTH & HOME the best of the beach lifestyle. The home was featured in Elizabeth McMillian’s book, “Beach Houses From Malibu to Laguna,” who referred to it as the Balboa Beach House. Five bedrooms and six baths within its almost 4,000 square feet of indoor living space keep company with indoor and outdoor living rooms and kitchens. Stacking glass walls disguise the thresholds, and fireplaces can be found both inside and out. The open floor plan, which seems to extend all the way to the beach, welcomes a houseful of guests when the mood strikes - or not, when one wants quiet downtime. A jewel in the crown of Southern California beach houses, the Balboa Beach House is for sale for $11.5 million. Listing agents are Sean Stanfield and Alyssa Joyce of HOM Sotheby’s International Realty in Huntington Beach, California. SAVVY I SOPHISTICATED I SASSY 41
