The Art? To begin, there’s the artwork that lines the walls: original, abstract canvases that bestow color and sophistication upon each space they inhabit, from the dining room and gourmet kitchen to the home’s entryway and open concept great room; and fine art photography prints of 20th century icons in the second-floor primary bedroom suite and one of four (4) ground floor bedrooms. There are the intriguing sculptures, statues, and vases that stand guard near multiple gas fireplaces – and gaze through wide windows down at natural paths that meander wistfully through an enclosed backyard garden.

Then there is the home itself, which is a modern work of art in its own right, with its wood vaulted ceilings, contemporary lines, hardwood flooring, and walls of colossal windows and skylights that seize upon every possible chance to enliven the property with natural light and invite the outdoors inside.

The Sound? There’s the sound of a piano at one end of the great room, exuding its lovely melodies at your discretion. There are the sounds of your family’s private chef preparing an inspired meal in the kitchen, making excellent use of stainless steel Thermador appliances, a wine refrigerator, spices, premium cookware, flatware, and serving ware. Glasses clink together over the 10-person dining table. Birds sing in the California live oaks and Monterey pines that reach protectively over the backyard patio.
