1723 Terrapin

Extensively remodeled just a few years ago by Lulu Designs, this residence beautifully blends modern farmhouse charm with timeless traditional appeal in the heart of the Dover Shores area. Set on an expansive lot, it lives as a private sanctuary—where sunlight filters through lush landscaping and every space invites effortless indoor/outdoor living. A heated pool and spa, flourishing gardens, a generous play area, and a cozy fire pit create an atmosphere that feels both vibrant and serene. With solar panels and two Powerwall batteries, the home enjoys minimal electrical costs while maintaining year-round comfort. Inside, the home’s thoughtful renovation shines through every detail. High ceilings and abundant natural light highlight wide-plank wood floors, custom wainscoting, refined built-ins, and elegant stone and marble finishes. The flowing floor plan connects each room with intention—from the warm family room and formal dining room to the sophisticated living room and chef’s kitchen. Anchored by a grand island and separate bar, the kitchen also features a hidden dirty-kitchen pantry, offering both beauty and practicality for entertaining and everyday living. The main level is anchored by a luxurious primary wing, where a spa-influenced bath and spacious walk-in closet create a true retreat. Two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths, complemented by a full pool bath and a versatile poolside cabana that doubles as a playroom or bonus space. Upstairs, a private guest-style suite offers comfort and flexibility with its own full bath, office area, bar with wine refrigerator, and inviting lounge—or optional bedroom—perfect for guests or an elevated personal retreat. Every upgrade reflects thoughtful craftsmanship—from the new Hydrotap water system and two new AC units to the newer appliances and integrated security camera system. This is a home designed for beauty, comfort, and the seamless California coastal lifestyle.
