Commissioned in the 80s, this awarding winning sustainable design incorporates an efficient layout with a solarium and indoor lap pool that is as unique as it is delightful. Enter the home through the solarium, which incorporates the 40 lap pool in a sundrenched environment complemented by an original Greg Brown mural. French doors comprise the formal entry to the home, with living and dining rooms bathed in natural light from the solarium. The central kitchen, full bath, and laundry complete the first floor, and there is access to the rear deck and side yard provided from the kitchen. Upstairs lie 2 generous bedrooms and full bath. The home was designed to take full advantage of passive solar properties that allow for venting of hot air in summer months to cool the home, as well as efficiencies of heat savings in the winter. Conveniently located moments from the Stanford Campus, California Avenue Downtown District, and the Farmers Market.
