Upper Living Area

Upstairs is dedicated entirely to the master suite. Italian hardwood floors provide an earthy yet contemporary feel to this 800 square foot space. The loft-like bedroom opens up to a 600 sq feet of roof-top deck! The views from here are even more inspiring. It is the perfect spot for a cup of coffee or tea in the morning, taking in the sun during the day, and finishing with a glass of wine as the sun sets. The spa-like bathroom combines modern fixtures with natural touches. An echo of the garden like exterior of the home. The walk in shower boasts five showerheads, a Japanese river stone floor and frosted windows that open on the garden below. A cedar plank vanity-counter cradles two modern Lacava sinks. While a large walk-in closet, fully furnished with shelving and drawers, keeps clothes tidy and out of view.

Lower Living Level

The lower level is equally impressive. Large picture windows face the lake and bring in more stunning views. The media room is warm and inviting with its New Zealand wool carpet, wood-burning fireplace and wet-bar. The bar is made of polished babinga wood and is illuminated by two Italian glass pendant lights, both signed by the artists who created them. Masive french doors off the sitting room/crafts area provide access to the peaceful back yard. There is also another bedroom with its own separate entrance, slate tiled bathroom, a wine cellar, and a spacious laundry room.
