Inside: The main house is hidden from the street, with a stone pathway leading from the driveway to a courtyard framed by the garage, independent studio and main house.
A bright red front door opens into a spacious foyer with green tiled floors and glass doors to the garden. Directly opposite is a living and dining room with high ceilings, a simple stone-framed fireplace and a reading nook.
The kitchen, next to this space, has been carefully designed by the seller, a cookbook author, for cooking and testing recipes. Viking appliances are stainless steel with red accents, and countertops provide ample space for food prep. Around the corner is a sunny breakfast room with a wooden booth that overlooks the courtyard.
A hallway off the living room leads to the three bedrooms on this level. At one end is the master suite, which has its own exterior entrance, a living room that overlooks the hills, and a bathroom with tub and shower. Both guest bedrooms have floor to ceiling windows and hardwood floors; the bathroom they share, off the hall, has a shower cubicle.
Another bedroom is upstairs, with a built-in window seat and wall closet; next door is a bathroom with a combination tub and shower lined with pink tiles. Upstairs is also a spacious room with built-in shelving and windows offering stunning views of the property.
A step-family with a private entrance, below the main level, has one bedroom and one bath.
Outdoor space: There are two additional structures on the property: the detached garage, which holds two cars, and a studio, used by the vendors as office space. The garden is extensive, with planters containing a variety of herbs and vegetables. Next to the garden is a patio for outdoor dining. A hot tub sits between the deck and a row of fruit trees.
