Valued at over a million
dollars, the acean front
home of John Eccles and

Dianne Carlbeck is a
spectacular one indeed.
Complete with an indoor

swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa,
and a _ beautiful rosewood
bar, this house is perfect for
entertaining.

Three and a half years ago
John and Dianne bought the
Deep Cove property which
had small a cottage on it.
Keeping in mind their ideas
of lots of light and view-
oriented rooms, they laid out
the basic design. John and
Dianne were able to stay
with friends while the old
building was torn down and
the new one built.

With such an_ unusual
house and a steep lot, there
were a number. of
engineering problems to
overcome such as drainage
and installing round drywall
for the spiral staircase.
Eventually these problems
were licked resulting in a
very unique home.

The house has three
bedrooms, two fireplaces,
three baths, two decks, one
atrium, and a patio. The
kitchen has glass cabinets to
allow more hight in the
kitchen. The rosewood bar
off the living room has gold

faucets and impeccable
workmanship. High fidelity
sounds can be heard

throughout the house on the
35 built-in) speakers. The
skyht indoor swimming pool
is approximately 16) x 35

The pabo leads down the
dock where there is deep
water moorage On the patio
level of the house, John and
Dyanne are planning on
installing ano office and a
games room
