From the Agent: "When architect Jim Weiner found this house, it was a diamond in the rough. But he recognized the potential this jewel offered, keeping the good bones of the house and introducing a new kitchen, bathrooms, and other finishes in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. Inspired by the architecture of A. Quincy Jones, Whitney Smith, and Edgardo Contini, the original post-and-beam construction, tongue-and-groove ceilings, stacked bond fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling glass remain intact. Drawing on his environmental design expertise, the architect also provided a strong ecological sensibility to the project, with solar panels, an electric car charger, a rainwater collection system, and nontoxic cork and Marmoleum floors throughout. The result is a cohesive composition that is not only beautiful, but green."
Brick meets concrete, exposed wood, and cork flooring in the living room.
The kitchen is well equipped with all-new appliances and custom cabinetry. Sliding glass doors provide direct access to the partially covered patio that wraps around to the back.
As with the living areas, each of the four bedrooms receives ample natural lighting.
A cork board spans a wall in one of the home’s bedrooms.
An office space with outdoor access awaits down the hall.
An outdoor dining area overlooks the surrounding hills.
A secluded reading swing is located steps away, nestled into the hillside.
