Modern farmhouse

Contemporary coastal sophistication meets the warmth of farmhouse style in this Coronado home a few blocks from the beach. The two-story residence is on a relatively large, yet unusually shaped 13,000-square-foot lot with an L-shaped main home, linear guest house and covered patio to create a large, open courtyard central to the plan. The 8,300-square-foot, seven-bedroom home was designed by architect Christian

Rice and built by Lorton Mitchell Custom Homes and includes a finished basement with two en-suite bedrooms. The spaces in the home are designed to engage with the courtyard, pool and spa, lending a sense of openness and light to the home. The aesthetics take inspiration from the simple, clean lines of a traditional A-frame barn, intermixed with sleek, minimal detailing that gives the home a contemporary flair. The interior and exterior materials and colors reflect the bright, vibrant hues and

textures of the seaside locale and include white oak hardwood flooring, quartzite, marble, custom tile and paneling. Features include a gourmet kitchen with two islands, Wolf and Subzero appliances and two dishwashers, a game room, media room, playroom and tasting area. Home is powered by solar panels.
