About this home

Take the celebrated Arts and Crafts style, add a fresh modernity and incredible amenities, and you have this stunning custom home on Library Place, just blocks from vibrant downtown. From the slate entry to the family room's stacked stone fireplace, natural materials weave an elegant thread through beautiful spaces, as sliding barn doors, expanses of glass, and ample built-ins add soul and practicality. Under soaring, steel-girded ceilings, an open family room and a spectacular kitchen celebrate the art of entertaining on a grand scale - with honed stone counters and farmer's sink, commercial Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, and open stairs to a fireside family room. Blue glass tile lines a full bath, handy to an indoor saltwater pool, glimmering under a glass ceiling. The master suite is the ultimate retreat, with a gas fireplace edged by a hewn hearth, a sumptuous slate and marble bath, and back stairs to the pool for a morning dip. Two vaulted bedrooms share a full bath and airy loft; a 4th bedroom and bath on the 3rd floor perfectly suit guests.
