Live out your fantasy in this sleek mid-century modern floating on a knoll overlooking a stunning landscape and its one-of-a-kind pool carved into a natural stone quarry with a waterfall, surrounded by a zen garden and specimen plantings. Designed by one of the celebrated Harvard Five architects, John Johansen, it was home to Fred Otnes, a famous collage artist, for over 50 years. This stunning light-filled home has an open floor plan concept with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to multiple decks and pergolas all of which have been replaced with tempered glass. The kitchen has been renovated with sleek Bauformat cabinetry and high end European appliances. An artist studio and workroom addition was seamlessly created by the former owner and is currently being used as the master bedroom/suite with its peaked skylight under the starlit sky. There is adjoining space for an office/studio. The two-car garage in an adjacent structure has ample room for storage or additional studio space. PERFECTION .. PROVENANCE .. PRIVACY
