Architectural Retreat

The traditional front of this home welcomes you to a finely detailed modern interior which melds the indoors to the out. Enter through a rustic wood door to this sophisticated five bedroom and four bath home. The living room features hardwood floors, a large bay window, and a wood burning fireplace. The impressive kitchen is detailed with handmade woven wood pattered cabinetry and Vermont bluestone countertops. This kitchen is full of light with its wonderful skylights and openness to the dining room. The most alluring characteristic is that there are multiple stacking glass door panels that allow you to combine the indoor to the outdoor living spaces. Step down into the family room with heated porcelain tile floors and an additional set of stacking glass doors. A contemporary suspended wood staircase will whisk you up to the master suite, which has a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate tub overlooking the garden. There is also an ample walk-in closet. A balcony off the master provides a view of your property. The beautiful drought-tolerant backyard has a built-in fireplace and an outdoor dining area. Full-grown bamboo provides privacy. The soothing water feature, a fountain with floating rocks to a pond creates a walkway that leads you to the back portion of the yard. Here you will find an Ipe wood deck with a California hot tub. From the yard, you will have access to the spacious guesthouse and two-car garage. The guesthouse has a kitchen, living space, bedroom, bathroom and is approximately 400 square feet (For permit status check with the city). This spacious home with a grand backyard, secluded guesthouse, and energy efficient solar panels is on one of the most desirable streets on the hill. This one is calling your name!
