Bar seating allows the cook to enjoy the pre-dining conversation. A cozy, kiva fireplace sits expectantly in the corner of the eat-in kitchen to warm your winter morning, or to create a lovely intimate dining experience at sunset around the kitchen table. The views come from every direction with windows throughout. An expansive great room welcomes you just off the understatedly elegant entry, and is perfect for entertaining thirty, or enjoying a quiet afternoon wrapped-up in front of the oversized wood-burning fireplace. The great room is complimented with high ceilings, and a relaxed, generous dining area. The wall of windows on the south side of the great room is protected by a wrap-around portal allowing tremendous soft light and beautiful views of the lush landscape to spark your senses. Primarily built from thick adobe, the home is very quiet and energy efficient. Upgraded windows and features throughout. The main home was built approximately 1980 by well-known Mossman builders. A 2002 remodel included the addition of the owner's suite. A separate wing off the main entry provides additional bedroom quarters, or home office, as well as common living area. The exceptional, oversized service room boasts north-east views from the wall of windows atop the dual washers and dryers. A custom salon area inside the service room shares its roomy space with abundant built-in storage and a second refrigerator. A sun-lit play room is adjacent to the service room in this separate wing providing for a flexible and enjoyable teen-quarters or hobby room.
