The spacious living room with fireplace opens to peaceful canyon breezes, while the kitchen boasts abundant cabinetry, pantry, and striking “Blue Eyes” granite. Artistic touches shine throughout, including custom stained-glass doors, hand-made tiles and brass sinks, artisan light sconces, and a remarkable 400,000-year-old fossil slab in the primary shower. Both bedrooms and loft open to outdoor spaces surrounded by mature foliage, soothing water features, and total serenity.
