Property Description

Set behind a gated front garden with a tranquil water feature, this single-story mid-century residence opens into a striking entry lounge defined by vaulted, beamed ceilings and skylights. Expansive windows and sliding glass doors draw natural light throughout, while concrete stone flooring anchors the interiors. The layout unfolds with ease, connecting the living room, kitchen, and formal dining area around a three-sided fireplace visible from each space. The kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Miele appliances, a large center island, and breakfast bar, positioned seamlessly between the surrounding living areas for effortless entertaining. The formal dining room extends outward, overlooking mountain views and opening directly to the outdoors.A spacious office offers flexibility as an additional bedroom. The primary suite is set apart with pitched ceilings, a statement fireplace, and direct access to a private patio. Its en-suite features a sunken shower, stone vanity, and rich wood paneling, all oriented toward serene landscaping. In a separate wing, two guest bedrooms include en-suite baths, one with direct access to the pool, along with a media room featuring vaulted ceilings and skylights that opens to both front and rear gardens. Above, a private loft-style level with its own entrance from the garage includes a bedroom, bath, sitting lounge, and balcony overlooking the backyard -- well suited for extended stays.The outdoor grounds unfold as an expansive retreat, defined by a large, flat lawn -- an increasingly scarce offering in this setting -- surrounded by mature landscaping that ensures a complete sense of privacy. Layered greenery and thoughtfully composed planting create a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere, where each space feels tucked away yet open to the horizon. A pool and spa with a cascading waterfall ground the landscape, while multiple areas for gathering -- including a fire pit lounge, outdoor dining, and barbecue -- are positioned to take full advantage of the incredible views. A pergola and elevated viewing deck capture sweeping, unobstructed mountain vistas that stretch outward toward the city.
