Description

This sophisticated and unique custom home was designed and built in 1991 by designer, Bruce Kelley. An open floor plan on the first level creates the ideal environment for both intimate and grand scale entertaining. The beautiful two story living room with a vaulted ceiling, palladian window and a central fireplace is breathtaking. Expansive panoramic Bay facing windows and doors fill this home with light; balconies afford wonderful views. The formal dining room and kitchen/family room opens to the back garden and patio. A spacious library, one-half bath and family room completes this level.

A curvilinear staircase topped with a large round skylight is stunning and leads graciously to the remainder of this home. There are four bedrooms, three and a half baths, including a private master suite with a sitting room and an impressive master bath.

The dramatic spaces of this home are perfectly balanced by the warmth of cherry wood, birdseye maple, shoji pocket doors and a superb use of materials which include granite, marble, fossilized limestone, and travertine. Amenities include three fireplaces and a custom designed window shade system.

The lower level has a two car garage, wine cellar, laundry room and a bedroom suite. With a private entrance, this fourth spacious bedroom is situated to afford privacy as a guest or au pair quarters; currently being used as a media room and exercise space, it opens to a beautifully landscaped private and serene courtyard with waterfall and arbor. Designed by Sunset Magazine award winning landscape architect Stefan Thuilot, this private garden provides a true retreat.
