A dramatic roofline, exposed wood structure, original redwood posts, rhythmic vertical window bays, and carefully placed glazing draw in filtered light and frame the natural setting. Inside, the home reveals warmth, texture, and architectural character, with 1950s Philippine mahogany, wide-plank white oak flooring, and a soaring living room that opens toward expansive views. The kitchen pairs the home's mid-century character with a Gaggenau appliance suite, while a generous view deck extends the living experience outdoors and strengthens the connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding hillside.
