The kitchen has plenty of room for a big get-together and the family room, which is surrounded in glass, opens out into huge back yard with a stunning pool and Jacuzzi. There is also a barbeque patio area, raised gardening beds, and even a lawn area – it is all surrounded by luscious mature landscaping. There is still more - a dramatic architectural tower that houses the family room was built with reclaimed old growth redwood and massive steel beams which adds a bit of flair to an otherwise traditional home. There is plenty of off-street parking, and a partial basement with a workshop, laundry, and storage. This home has updated systems and is in move-in condition.
