Just off of the kitchen, this daylit sitting area leads to a rear-facing deck.

The kitchen and dining areas enjoy lots of light from large casement windows and loft-like ceilings with exposed redwood beams.

A wide entryway with pivoting doors connects the public and private areas of the home. A long hallway leads toward the bedrooms.

This bedroom offers a lovely view into the backyard. 

An open-tread staircase and three sizable windows create an inviting transition between floors. 

The lower level features a guest suite with a bedroom, living room, and one and a half baths. 

The primary bedroom suite opens directly to the pool via an oversized sliding door.

An en suite bath is features playful, tile-like wallpaper. The bath is complete with a soaking tub and a walk-in shower. 

Exposed redwood beams compliment white brick and wood panelling, balancing warm and cool tones. A wood-burning stove offers warmth for colder months, while central air floor vents keep things cool.

In the living room, double sliding doors grant access to a front-facing deck with hanging lounge chairs. 

Out back by the patio is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water and a newly installed heated gunite pool.
