Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, with European windows and doors gracing the residence, featuring triple-pane glazing for optimal insulation and energy efficiency. The living room and great room showcases six impressive floor-to-ceiling glass panel units, providing a seamless connection to the outdoors while allowing an abundance of natural light to filter into the space.
A rear yard canopy thoughtfully mitigates heat during the warmer months, ensuring a comfortable living environment. In contrast, adjustable louvers facilitate sunlight penetration into the Great Room during cooler seasons.
Standard energy-efficient features include a low-maintenance exterior comprising stucco, tile, and composite decking materials, a cooling-color metal roof, and landscape irrigation designed to meet city water-efficient requirements. Pervious pavers further enhance the property by aiding in the recharge of water into the ground surfaces.
