The site is up in the hills, overlooking the city, and it slopes sharply at the rear. Landscaping mimics the trees beyond and was used to soften this transition as it draws your eye away from the sloping site to the amazing views beyond. There are large windows in the family room and breakfast room that frame the views and an abundance of outdoor spaces that are all oriented to have the best views of the hillside. The owners love spending time outdoors so it was important that the design of the outdoor spaces be oriented to have the best views of the hillside. The owners love spending time outdoors so it was important that the design of the outdoor spaces be comfortable and be positioned to take advantage of the views no matter where you choose to relax. There is a spacious covered porch with retractable screens that are hidden in the beams for any bug infested evenings, and there is a covered living/dining area that overlooks the pool with a large stone fireplace. The home serves as an intimate space for the owners, but also provides plenty of space and activities to entertain family gatherings.
