Completed in 2004, with incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship, this property features an exceptionally functional indoor / outdoor floor plan with contemporary styling throughout all of the living spaces, including the four spacious bedrooms all complete with custom closet systems, a home office and a state of the art media room.
The open and sleek kitchen features contemporary styling all throughout.
A dynamic mix of finish materials, including stainless steel, wood and concrete, create a modern living space that is enhanced by ample natural light as well as a gorgeous picture window offering grand views of the mountains.
The spacious formal living room is warmed by a custom created fireplace, and is highlighted by the many sets of french doors leading to both the front entry patio as well as the outdoor verandas, creating an environment that is both comfortable as well as connected to the surrounding outdoor beauty.
