About this home

Some homes offer a place to live. Others offer a story worth becoming part of. Set on 1.71 lush, park-like acres in the heart of town, surrounded by historic residences, this distinctive 5,080-square-foot estate blends architectural character, thoughtful updates, and an extraordinary outdoor setting. Built in 1962, it reflects an era of craftsmanship and individuality. Hawaiian lava rock, personally selected by the original owners, anchors the dramatic fireplace and graces portions of the formal living and dining rooms. Vaulted ceilings with exposed truss beams span the family and breakfast rooms, while expansive windows, patio doors, and custom built-ins fill the interiors with light and character. The recently renovated chef's kitchen complements the home's original charm with double ovens, a pot filler, wine refrigerator, granite surfaces, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting. Multiple living areas offer flexibility for entertaining and everyday life. A tucked-away office provides a private retreat, while preserved original details invite the next owner to enjoy the home's legacy and thoughtfully introduce their own vision. Outside, mature trees and carefully maintained landscaping create a private oasis. An exquisite pool framed by architectural stonework sets the scene for leisurely afternoons and memorable gatherings. An electric-gated drive leads to the three-car garage, and DaVinci roof tiles complete the distinctive exterior. From its natural materials and expressive architecture to its expansive grounds, this estate offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and presence- all within town. For those who value originality and a home with a story, this is your opportunity to become part of its next chapter. This is one of those homes that pictures and words cannot do it justice.
