Perfectly positioned to capture views from sunrise to sunset from every room in the house, experience a panorama of ever-changing immutable beauty.
The front motor court presents a classic Mediterranean hacienda façade. But step through the front entry and you will appreciate a unique design by the owner's parents, true visionaries that understood the home was merely a blank canvas to enjoy the jaw-dropping views. Huge picture windows and glass doors wrap around the home's east, south and western exposures. Like contemporary homes, very few walls interfere with the view with the spacious rooms, airy vaulted ceilings, and open floor plan.
