Light pours in thru the custom extra-wide French window, overlooking the lush garden.

The full bath with a shower that has a door to the outside creates the ultimate indoor/outdoor experience. There is a split system AC zoned by room throughout the house. Two French doors lead to your secret garden. Ultimate privacy is created by the cascading walls of ivy surrounding the property. Tucked away in the garden’s rear is a free-standing artist studio designed in traditional tea house style with sliding screen walls.
