Stone walkways, outdoor gathering spaces, mature landscaping, automatic landscape lighting, and thoughtfully designed entertaining areas create an environment that is every bit as exceptional as the residence itself.

Designed by renowned architect Tom Hunt, the home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful functionality. Soaring ceilings, extensive crown molding, engineered hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, multiple fireplaces, and expansive windows fill the home with warmth, character, and natural light. The chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom Busby cherry cabinetry, a six-burner Thermador range, generous preparation space, and seamless flow into the living and entertaining areas. The primary suite offers its own private retreat with a fireplace, sitting area, and direct access to the outdoor living spaces. Outside, entertaining becomes an experience. Relax beside the screened pool overlooking the ravine, unwind in the hot tub, gather around TWO OUTDOOR FIRE PITS, including one gas and one traditional wood-burning, enjoy evenings beneath the lighted gazebo, or rinse off after a swim in the outdoor shower. Every space was intentionally designed to bring people together while embracing the natural beauty surrounding the home. The detached garage apartment offers outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests, a private office, multigenerational living, or future income potential. Luxury is often measured by finishes.
