Fun and dramatic contemporary home, just minutes from NW 23rd, the Hoyt Arboretum, and the Japanese Gardens. The main floor features an open living room, with concrete floors. A large glass french front door opens to a patio with a striking water feature wall. The galley style kitchen includes a gas range, newer refrigerator and dishwasher and an eating bar, opening to the dining room. Walls of windows fill the home with natural light, offering tranquil views of the surrounding trees of the West Hills. Two primary suites upstairs boast soaring vaulted wood and beamed ceilings. There are two additional loft spaces in the one primary suite that can serve as a home office, meditation/yoga space, or quiet sitting areas. A unique rolling library ladder helps you access these spaces. A private outdoor deck can be accessed from upstairs, as well. Tucked in the stairwell are beautiful built in bookshelves that provide stunning warmth for your treasures and books. Recent updates include a new roof (2024) and a new gas furnace, with a heat pump for air conditioning (2025). [Home Energy Score = 7.
