The exterior is the quintessential definition of 1970s understatement, but one step inside reveals the home's exceptional interior. The main level features an impressive open space that incorporates a dramatic living/family room, dining room and kitchen, filled with natural light and elegant finishes. The great room's thoughtful remodel was designed to enhance the location's tranquil views while bringing stylistic elements of the natural surroundings into the home's interior. Examples include a vaulted beamed ceiling, oversized windows, skylights, a linear gas fireplace, and wide plank hardwood flooring that continues throughout the home. The spacious kitchen is a chef's dream with Miele, Thermador and Bosch appliances, honed grey marble wall tiles, quartzite slab counters, ample kitchen storage, a coffee bar, and a beautiful live-edge acacia wood breakfast bar. Sliding doors open to a deck spanning the width of the main level, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor experience with serene wooded canyon views. 

The home's two main level bedrooms, located to the right of the front entrance, offer privacy from the home's public spaces. One of the bedrooms has sliding doors that open to the deck, oversized windows showcasing the views, two closets, and an attractively remodeled en-suite bathroom. The present owners have transformed the second bedroom into a home office, complete with contemporary work spaces and shelving. A hallway bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and features a walk-in shower and custom vanity with a vessel sink. 

The primary bedroom suite is a spectacular retreat, and takes up most of the lower level. This exceptionally large, calming space includes beautiful materials chosen from a palette of natural colors and hues. The bedroom includes a hardwood floor, plenty of windows, a fireplace with an attractive tile surround, a walk-in closet large enough for several wardrobes, and a covered deck facing the canyon. The fabulous ensuite bathroom is as luxurious as any private spa, with radiant floor heating, a dual vanity with Trueform concrete finishes, a double shower, and an oversized soaking tub with woodland views. An additional bedroom sits next to the bathroom, completing the lower level.
