Come experience an organic monolith rising from a forested hillside in Idyllwild's Cedar Glen. .. Designed by renowned architect, Dennis McGuire and built in 1980, this magnificent structure is woven into the arboreal sinew of massive granite boulders, oaks, pines and cedars. The interior being that of a 2 bedroom, one bath home may sound modest, but it is everything but. It is a piece of art. Add to that a premiere local sculptor and elite glass artist and you have magic. One-of-a-kind glass doors with Lindeneau bronze handles open to the artist's home. There, a myriad of her art, Oriental art and art of fellow artists come together in a keenly eclectic balance. The kitchen has a Jenn-Air range, Bosch dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau convection oven and Allmilno European cabinetry. Windows were thoughtfully and strategically designed to bring in the light, the forest and views into the living area. The large front deck allows for spacious outdoor entertainment. The ample lower deck is an extension of outdoor living. Another deck off an upstairs bedroom has a very private spa with views. This is a "must-see". Please view the photos on my website (below).
