surrounding nature. Sunlight and views pour in through<br />

huge windows throughout the home and nearly every<br />

room flows gracefully to the outdoors. As if turning a<br />

page in a storybook, the children’s bedrooms open out<br />

onto beautiful verdant gardens.<br />

The quality of construction and thoughtful design<br />

speaks volumes as every aspect is generous in scale<br />

without being pretentious. Of special note is the family<br />

room, a gathering place that radiates a sense of<br />

togetherness. Distinguished by its charming A-frame<br />

ceiling, the room gracefully combines the heart of the<br />

home with all of the day-to-day activities. As noted<br />

by the current owners, this is where you can carve<br />

out your own personal space yet never feel left out<br />

of the conversation.<br />

Off the large chef’s kitchen is the impressive formal<br />

dining room – leave the doors open to invite a gentle<br />

breeze or draw the curtains for more intimate affairs.<br />

Well-thought-out and brilliantly executed, this home<br />

and its charming, two-level guest house can accommodate<br />

a large family and its guests while also serving<br />

as the ideal setting for celebratory events.<br />

Guided by automatic landscape lighting, one can<br />

tour the nearly 3-acre property by day or by night.<br />

Sunny terraces and patios overlook the old growth<br />

oak trees dotting the grounds, while pathways lead to<br />

outdoor amenities like a wood-burning fireplace, large<br />

swimming pool, basketball and trampoline play area,<br />

dog run and kennel, and so much more.<br />

With an abundance of places to walk and hike<br />

nearby, the home and its surrounding neighborhood<br />

encourages exploration by foot. To live here is to feel<br />

as if you’re a world’s away, yet always within close<br />

proximity to beautiful beaches, celebrated golf courses,<br />

world-class schools and a town with a vibrant<br />

pulse and community<br />
