About this home

A connection to the outdoors is ever-present at this stunning contemporary. With countless majestic trees and mossy boulders, the forest-like setting is at once inspiring and humbling. Soak up the serenity beside the pool, completely redone in 2017, or from within the airy home with an abundance of oversized glass doors and clerestory windows beneath high, vaulted ceilings sheathed in wood. Rooms are impressively sized beginning with the Great Room. Whether eating, cooking or cleaning up, you'll enjoy the very best views from the kitchen, where a corner breakfast nook like no other supplements larger dining areas. Custom built-ins follow the lines of the architecture in the family room also featuring a Scandinavian-style fireplace. Two upper bedrooms share a bath, while a guest suite is easily accessible on the main level along with the expanded primary suite. This private wing is devoted to organization and self-care with separate closets, a dressing room, sauna and 2 baths! Outside, stone patios and paths were reset, siding was re-stained and roofing was replaced where needed, leaving an empty to-do list for new owners.
