About 36690 Mariners Drive

"The Burdick House draws advantage from its position without commanding it and comfortably takes its place in the landscape. Almost iconic in its formal simplicity, it is compactly and efficiently planned, adroitly sited, and filled with the elegance of orderly, intelligent craft, which its owners and creators, industrial designers, habitually bring to their work and lives" as stated by Donlyn Lyndon, FAIA, in the now iconic coffee table book on Sea Ranch Architecture from 2004. Donlyn Lyndon is one of the original, early Sea Ranch architects, who set the tone for 60-years of excellence. Bruce & Susan Burdick designed and built this home in 1990 as a retreat from a busy work life in San Francisco. The house entertains very well with welcoming public spaces inside and outside. The ocean facing deck, almost the length of the house, takes in the drama of Smugglers Cove and crashing waves. Inside 3 sliding doors, one finds cozy and practical spaces incl. a large office, which doubles as a guest room, an inviting library with fireplace, office and full bath for guests. Upstairs is the primary bedroom, full bath, and a retreat for napping, reading or overflow guests. A courtyard gives fenced-in privacy and the 1-car garage with laundry holds all you need. This is a must visit house.
