Not your cookie cutter home, this one stands apart--not just for its setting, but for how intentionally it lives. Designed by Karl Wagner, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, the home carries a quiet architectural influence that prioritizes light, perspective, and connection to the landscape. The design flips the expected--placing the main living spaces, kitchen, and primary suite on the upper level. The payoff is immediate: elevated sightlines, enhanced privacy, and a daily living experience centered around the views rather than neighboring rooftops. Below, a separate bonus level creates true flexibility--ideal for a home office, studio, guest retreat, or additional sleeping space without interrupting the flow upstairs. The lot itself is generous and usable, with a fenced yard and direct access to state land, giving you both defined space and room to explore beyond it. Open, unobstructed views stretch outward, reinforcing the sense of privacy and escape. Recent improvements--including a new roof, new energy-efficient windows, new hot water heater, and a newly added storage shed--allow you to step into the home where the major items are handled. A transferable home warranty adds an extra layer of reassurance. This is a property that doesn't rely on one standout feature--it's the way the layout, setting, and design come together that makes it one of a kind.
