Views from the charming street frontage ascend to the home positioned at the hilltop. A serpentine driveway transects low auto court walls, utilizing a European design technique to shield the home, creating a sense of security and transition from public to private. The auto court has an old-world European cobble road feel, comprised of clean-cut granite pavers. The “L” shape layout nestles the home within the landscape, defining outdoor rooms. Soft curves are introduced into the architectural details and landscaping to balance the straightness of the modern approach.
