W Cumnt Ownen Ronnie Sarmanian 731 Ocean View Boulevard
Capturing the spirit of California's coastal communities, this Modern Minimalist home maximizes the potential of its site and
spectacular ocean views. Bill Foster, a Pacific Grove architect, designed this home for owners Jim Hebert and Ronni Sarmanian to
take full advantage of its small comer lot and front row seat on the bay. In 2007, the American Institute ofArchitects (AIA) Monterey
Bay presented Foster with an HonorAward for Design Ekcellence for the recently completed home, and subsequently the Heritage
Sodety awaded it the 2011 Heritage House Award for New Construction. The home was featured in Russell Abraham's book,
Cal®mia Cool: Modernism Rebom.
This home replaces a simple carpenter vemacular
cottage built in 1924; the first building permit
called for a 24 by M foot rustic three-room
cottage estimated to cost;1,600. That cottage
was demolished in early 2006; multiple exterior
changes had destroyed any original architectural
character ornotable detail.

According to architect Foster, Jim Hebert was
the catalyst for the open layout of this three
bedroom, two bath home; he advocated br
a simplicity that would emphasize the natural
rather than built environment. Tobest capture
the "view shed," Foster placed the main living
and dining areas on the second story and
maximized the use ofglass and decks. With the
owners input, he designed all the interior built-
ins. Stocker and Allaire built the house, andJorie
Clark Design, Carmel, completed the interior
design. The floors are bamboo, and kitchen and
bathroom countertops are Halila limestone.
Bernard Trainor + Associates, Monterey,
designed the landscape; Linda Ferry lighting
Design handled lighting.
Sadly, Mr. Hebert became ill during the
construction phase and died before he could see
his plans realized in the completed home. Today,
the design he championed, with the support of
Ms. Sarmanian, provides a beautiful and inviting
lookout on the natural wonders ofMonterey Bay.
