Inside, vaulted ceilings in the main living areas create an open and airy ambiance, while wide-plank European oak floors throughout the home add elegance and durability. A 14-foot panoramic sliding door creates a natural indoor-outdoor flow from the living and dining spaces to the numerous patio areas and curated gardens beyond  inviting quiet mornings in the sun or relaxed evenings under the stars. Surrounding the property are a variety of mature fruit trees and verdant landscaping. A gas fire pit and a cedar-plank spa offer irresistible opportunities for entertaining or simply unwinding in total privacy.
