Built in 2005, this exquisite custom designed residence replicates the character of American Craftsman homes from the early 20th century. The façade mixes natural stone and stucco with classic arts and crafts light fixtures and carriage style garage doors.

The interior boasts thirty-five hundred and thirty-nine hundred square feet of expansive living space all on one level! The work of skilled artisans is displayed in finely crafted batten board wainscoting and coved ceiling moldings. The floors are Patagonian Pecan hardwood planks.

A large formal dining room lies to the right of the foyer. This gracious room faces the front of the home, overlooking the lawn. Double doors lead to the service hall connecting the kitchen.

Also off the foyer and to the left is a handsome library or formal living room with lighted built-in cabinetry and a striking architectural ceiling. Morning sun softly filters through French doors that open onto a quaint courtyard.

With a view to the backyard landscape, the relaxing family room, gourmet kitchen, and breakfast bay are integrated into one spacious great room, providing a place for the family to the gather at any time of the day. The fireplace is fitted with gas logs, creating instant ambiance. The mantelpiece and built-in entertainment cabinet were custom designed to match the home’s batten board wainscoting.

The kitchen’s warm cabinetry, granite countertops, and hardwood floor are a beautifully contrasted with sleek stainless steel appliances. The abundance of storage space is complemented by a step-in pantry. The adjacent service hall to the dining room houses a powder room with pedestal sink, a smartly designed laundry and an access door from the garage.
