A home made for its setting
With five bedrooms and about 3,890 square feet on a half-acre lot, the home pairs generous living spaces with an easy connection to the outdoors.
A large eat-in kitchen has a custom island and its own fireplace. Hardwood floors run throughout, with a wet bar and a temperature-controlled wine cellar for entertaining, and a pool, sauna and deck look out to the hills.

Staged at the scale of the views
Our goal was to keep the focus on the light and the hills. We kept the furniture intentional and calm, sized to each room.
Buyers could see how the living, dining and kitchen spaces work together, for everyday life and for entertaining.
