Native landscaping and mature growth trees surrounding this property add to the overall aesthetics of this contemporary home.
Inside, a glass bridge connects the levels, which spans three stories. This allows for natural light to penetrate through the center core stairwell, courtesy of skylights from above. LEDs illuminate the glass bridge, creating a visual display.
In the kitchen, the color palette repeats the colors and materials used on the exterior facade. The waterfall marble island creates a beautiful contrast to the richly stained base cabinetry, which matches the wood siding used on the exterior. The custom hood and upper cabinetry mimic the metal elements on the exterior.
