Description

This sunny home in the hills is a rare find: everything is all on the same level, even the front and rear yards. Five sets of sliding glass doors integrate the outdoors with every part of the house, and the open floor plan allows a line of sight from the lush front garden right through to the private rear patio. Old-world European architectural style includes vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings, 3 brick fireplaces, inlaid hardwood floor, and hand-wrought wood doors with fleur-de-lis metal work.
