Step through the foyer into an open, large airy, kitchen with a cheery fireplace, and a glass accordion wall open to the spacious creekside deck.

A loft styled living room sits beyond, with another wall of glass, gazing out past the deck to stately Redwoods, and the mountain peaks beyond. On the main level, a library or third bedroom sits in dappled sunlight. An elegantly remodeled bath sits near a bedroom, with glass doors out to its own private deck. Up the open staircase of the lofty living room, a spacious primary suite with 2 walk in closets and views of distant hills, sits on it's own level. The bathroom matches the beauty of its surroundings. Step out of the glass doors onto another private deck with views of the mountains, the gardens, and the fruit trees. A path leads to a studio, perfect as creative space, or a great workshop. Old stone steps meander past fragrantly blooming citrus trees, to a crows nest of an upper deck.
