About This Home
As of June 2023Looking for stunning/eclectic architecture that combines contemporary style with George Washington Smith and a sense of humor? Need flexibility and privacy? 1212 East Valley Road is your destination. Soaring ceilings and curved arches work in tandem to create an architectural masterpiece. From the visually open public wing that leads one to the private wing through an imposing and yet peaceful living room, you are surrounded by French doors opening up to a private courtyard and fountain. A massive bronze fountain sculpture taken from Katsushika Hokusai's 'Wave' sits atop the flowing stream that is the highpoint of the landscape under the neon 'Mt. Fuji' in the background.
Three ensuite bedrooms and 4 baths make up the bedroom wing of the residence.
