Pacifica, Estados Unidos

As husband and wife architects, it was our dream to build our own home. We were lucky to find this vacant lot in Pacifica, a small quiet beach community just south of San Francisco. The main level with one bedroom, one and a half baths, the kitchen and living areas and a large deck with outdoor barbecue is handicapped accessible right from the driveway. Downstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms, two baths, a laundry room and a lovely garden with a shaded deck. The house is all electric, solar powered.

Keep in mind that coastal California can often be foggy in the summer, but you don’t have to far to find sun and all that San Francisco and the Bay Area have to offer.

We sometimes travel with our adult children, Elisa and David, and sometimes just the two of us.
