INSIDE

Beneath vaulted, wood-slat ceilings, high-performance clerestory and picture windows brighten two spacious gathering areas that flow along polished concrete floors fitted with four-zone hydronic lines that warm or cool and have French door access to the backyard
Lively Moorish-tile backsplash plays against black stone and Teragon bamboo countertops that connect abundant, soft-close, fir cabinetry and a high-end, all-Miele appliance suite that surround a steel-topped island with sink while a Miele laundry center with a heat-recovery system stands nearby
Enjoying three efficient closets, the master suite features a tile-surrounded bathroom with a free-standing tub and separate stall-free shower and double-wide vanity basin while its clerestory window shades, as in two secondary bedrooms, are motorized
Two secondary bedrooms also include closets with efficient, built-in storage as a third room might serve as sleeping quarters, second office, or study, and all share a tile-surrounded hallway bath with a floating, quartz-topped double vanity, step-in shower, and access to the backyard
Topping ordinary water recirculating systems, the home’s on-demand system operates only when activated at faucets, reducing energy costs while delivering near-instant hot water
Across a small bridge and detached from the main house, the distinctive home office is perfect for the work-at-home executive

OUTSIDE

Landscaping by San Francisco’s Lutsko Associates is low maintenance, water-saving, and highlights a succulent garden and a driveway leading to a carport with storage area and EV charging point
Solar PV arrays help keep electric bills in check
Durable and integral-color, flame-resistant fiber cement siding resists insects and is perfect for fending off natural threats
Slatted-shutter barndoors lead from the home to an oak-shaded, paver courtyard and up stairs to the solar-heated, 51-foot pool where uniquely-fashioned gabion walls create terraced levels to expand entertainment space
Near fruit trees, a fenced-in garden area keeps your herbs, fruit, and vegetables separate from hungry deer
