Privacy and tranquility define this single-level post-and-beam residence designed by Buff and Hensman. Once owned by the Van Halen brothers, the home beautifully captures modernist ideals with its graceful simplicity and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Expansive walls of glass, allowing for natural light in every room, frame stunning views of the treetops and city skyline. The thoughtfully designed floor plan places all bedrooms together in one wing, while the opposite wing features a kitchen and a separate family room with its own closet and full bathroom. A custom stained-glass window completed in 1990 by renowned artist, Judy Jansen, highlights the entry and dining areas. The home has undergone extensive upgrades, including an 800-square-foot addition, a heated pool and spa, updated landscaping, a newer air conditioning -- all while preserving the original Buff and Hensman design and enhancing it with a more contemporary interior style. First time on market in over 30 years! A rare opportunity to customize this historic home offering endless possibilities.
