Down a quiet, private drive, a sanctuary of scale and soul awaits. Perched to frame ever-changing lake and mountain views, this five-bedroom Craftsman has been thoughtfully reimagined with a fresh interior and exterior palette that accentuates its classic architectural lines. While the historic tile fireplace provides a sophisticated heart to the home, the interior is defined by an extraordinary, unobstructed glow—a space where sunlight serves as a constant guest. This is more than a home; it’s a perfectly updated retreat where the craftsmanship of the past meets the effortless, light-filled living of today.
