Overview

Description

Featured in magazines & commercial productions for its architectural significance, this remarkable Tyrol Hills mid-century modern home is a true work of art, blending timeless design with exceptional functionality. Designed for entertaining on every scale, the dramatic cedar-vaulted living room showcases a striking marble fireplace and flows effortlessly into the formal dining room below. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully equipped with premium gourmet appliances, a serving bar, prep island, suspended pantry, all opening to the spacious family room and dinette where two expansive walls of windows invite natural light and scenic views indoors. Sliding walls of glass lead to the breathtaking two-story redwood solarium, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows, a comfortable sitting area, and a custom staircase leading to the jacuzzi and wet bar. Designed by renowned architect Lloyd Jafvert, the private owner’s suite offers a retreat vibe, complete with a two-sided fireplace, secluded sitting room, with steam shower and direct access to the solarium. Three additional bedrooms on the main level include a private ensuite ½ bath & an additional full bath. The lower level features a spacious recreation room with dedicated lounge & games areas, along with an additional ¾ bath, creating the perfect setting for relaxation & entertaining. Outside, the beautifully landscaped .4-acre property is surrounded by mature conifers, perennial gardens, expansive patios, and multiple decks, offering serene outdoor living spaces throughout the seasons. Built in 1952 and cherished by only a select few owners since, this architecturally significant residence is a rare opportunity to own an enchanting home celebrated for its design, craftsmanship, and enduring appeal. Here is your chance to secure something special.
