New Modern Home - A Private Oasis
Secluded from the street, beyond a long, gated driveway, this just-completed Contemporary unfolds with a sleek, linear design complemented by entire walls of glass and cedar decking.
The unique and desirable space is sheltered by mature trees for added privacy, while water features add natural sound, and a courtyard-style pool is bordered by a vast stretch of lawn. An immense pivoting front door introduces the quality found within, where white oak floors unify the two levels connected by a vertebrae staircase. A theme of linear patterns is found on the staircase, with vertical cylindrical railings, and outside with slatted wood framing the owner’s suite deck. Cabinetry and closets all seamlessly blend into the walls without benefit of hardware, and Fleetwood windows and glass doors extend from floor to ceiling at a height of ten feet on the main level. In the kitchen great room, the glass disappears entirely into the walls on three sides for a wonderfully open connection to the deck, pool, and grounds.

Step down from the foyer to the central room that provides options for formal living and/or dining with three sets of double French doors to a rear garden with fire pit and water features. The kitchen is sleek and modern with fine wood cabinetry, honed countertops, and an island that separates a casual dining area. There is a dedicated room tucked away in privacy that is perfect for today’s work-from-home needs or a fitness center plus there is a large bedroom suite with outside entrance and curbless shower on this level.

Upstairs, the design is exceptionally bright and light geared toward the outdoors with floor-to-ceiling walls of glass in all four bedrooms, each with en suite bath, looking out to the verdant views. The primary suite benefits from an enchanting outdoor living space, and it has a large walk-in closet ready for personalization and a modern bath with privacy afforded by opaque glass walls and doors. Outside, the grounds are equally modern with natural grasses as well as manicured lawn and crushed stone paths complementing mature trees and the sparkling pool at the center of it all.
