Designed by award-winning international architect William R. Pauli, AIA, this tranquil mid-century with a thoughtful connection to nature is on the market for the first time in more than 30 years. The understated approach leads to a meticulously maintained lush courtyard with several mature Japanese maple trees and a striking vaulted breezeway to a double-door entry. The doors open to reveal a smashing open entry and step-down living room that continues the vaulted ceilings and features warm wood paneling, wide-plank oak flooring, a swanky hidden bar, and windows on three sides--truly incorporating the natural environment into the home. The adjacent dining room has an original built-in and continues the relationship to nature with a sliding door to the expansive rear deck. A well-designed galley kitchen with another sliding door to the backyard was remodeled with granite counters and high-end appliances and includes a breakfast area. The kitchen also adjoins a guest bathroom and the rich wood paneled den that overlooks the entry courtyard. The private wing of the home includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. All three bedrooms have beautiful natural light and sliding doors to the outside, and the front bedroom enjoys its own private walled courtyard! The hall bath was handsomely remodeled with exquisite finishes and materials including brushed brass fixtures and designer tile. A primary suite finishes the bedroom quarters with a spacious bedroom, two closets, and a bathroom that features double-vanities, an oversized air tub, separate shower, water closet, and a hidden closet with a convenient washer/ dryer. The privacy and tranquility of the front courtyard continues to the backyard with multiple seating areas, a water feature, deck, and lush views over the verdant ravine below. Included in the measured square footage is a permitted guest suite with 3/4 bath that is accessed via the front courtyard. This suite is perfect for out- of-town guests, a college student home for the summer, or a quiet home office. A 2-car garage completes this very special and private property. This striking home has a decidedly serene point of view with a commitment to linking the natural and built environment harmoniously, and is ready for the very-fortunate next owner.
