Nestled on nearly two acres of flat, gated grounds, you’ll discover a Cliff May-inspired Architectural Modern masterpiece. Crafted with top-tier materials, this home showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Privacy envelops you. Its design captivates. Surrounded by over a dozen mature oaks, the home boasts soaring 18-foot ceilings. Thick slumpstone walls, 12 to 24 inches, stand strong. Gleaming, newer in-laid Travertine flooring sparkles. Meanwhile, an updated kitchen and baths impress. In 2007-08, architect James Coane skillfully oversaw the remodel. He preserved the post-and-beam spirit. Next, oversized formal rooms dazzle with a grand two-sided fireplace. Wood-beamed ceilings soar above. Skylights flood the space with light.
Then, custom double doors usher you into an expansive foyer. Instantly, generous formal rooms welcome you. Beyond, views of the outdoor entertainment area and distant mountains unfold. In the kitchen, newer stainless steel appliances shine—Granite counters gleam. Seamlessly, the kitchen flows into a spacious breakfast nook. A garden view delights. Additionally, four bedrooms offer comfort. Two master suites feature new baths. Meanwhile, the rear two bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings, share a remodeled three-quarter bath. Truly, this residence stands one-of-a-kind. Since the home sits at the rear of the large lot, a lot split may be possible. Undoubtedly, this property shines as a rare gem!
