From the Agent: "Coming soon to the market is a world-renowned design by architectural firm MLTW (Moore, Lyndon, Turnbull & Whitaker). With a prime oceanfront location, the home sits  within close proximity to the newly reopened Sea Ranch Lodge. Condo #6 has been fully renovated and includes refinished floors, a kitchen with custom Danish cabinets and countertops, as well as new bathroom finishes and fixtures which offer a zen aesthetic. A new landscape design by Terremoto (landscape designers for The Sea Ranch Lodge) has been approved by The Sea Ranch Association and the first phase will begin Summer of 2023. The landscape project isn’t just about planting; it’s a comprehensive restoration of the shared outdoor spaces of Condominium One with many different improvements and upgrades."

Unit #6 is located in the award-winning Condominium One, the first building designed as part of the Sea Ranch development. Today, it is widely known as one of the most significant landmarks of postwar American Architecture.
