The thoughtfully designed reverse floor plan takes full advantage of the sweeping vistas, filling the home with natural light.

An elevator brings you downstairs to a serene library and a spacious office, both featuring built-in cabinetry, plus two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a media area, and access to the outdoor kitchen overlooking the hot tub and sparkling lap pool. Entertain or unwind at the end of the day. Picture yourself watching the sun dip into the Pacific from your private spa.
