Inside, the design unites traditional craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication. The 1188 SF newly built addition complements the restored original 732 SF home, creating a 1920 SF Main House with an open floor plan with soaring 13+ ft cathedral ceilings in the living, dining, kitchen, and family rooms.

Enjoy panoramic mountain and treetop views from the 289 SF rooftop deck, framed by oaks, redwoods, jacarandas, and palms. The ADU offers private luxury living with custom Italian cabinetry, marble finishes, stacked washer/dryer, and a 3-panel folding door that opens directly to the pool.
