This eco-friendly home has been custom crafted with meticulous care: highly insulated house siding and walls, reclaimed American Elm floors, bespoke wood cabinetry and trim throughout, local soapstone details, handmade tile, specialized storage in all the closets and so many details it is hard to see it in one visit. Approaching the home, note the tranquil tones of the fountain, and the curated collection of native woodland plants in the professionally designed gardens. Likewise, note that the dry-stone stream beds hide a sophisticated drainage system to protect the home. The inviting front porch is made of the tropical hardwood Garapa, for both longevity and resistance to weather. Likewise, the expansive back deck is made of Garapa wood, but more on that later. The entry is lit by multiple skylights and broad windows and welcomes you into the open floorplan with glimpses of views off the deck. The unique fireplace mantle is made of fine Australian hardwood and matches the millwork throughout the home. The raw silk curtains and custom Hunter Douglas blinds convey with the property.

The primary bedroom is full of light and French doors to the deck with his and hers closets and built-in shelving. The primary bath has a heated floor, hand-made tiles, a marble countertop, and the tub is extra deep for soaking. The second bath mirrors these details and has a bespoke cherry wood cabinet and marble top. To return to the deck, the heated Endless pool is half pool and half spa on the deck with some truly impressive professional engineering carrying the deck and anchoring it deep into the mountainside.
