This new house is sited along the south edge of the 2-1/2 acre property with views to an oak-lined stream and distant vineyards to the west. A double row of plane trees creates a strong entry to the site and offers privacy from the adjacent residence. The gravel auto court leads to a small garden with a fountain at the entry to the house. The north wing of the house is a single, large room with living, dining and kitchen areas that open to the pool and dining terrace. The south wing includes a media room and three bedrooms. A small terrace off the master bedroom allows the owners to enjoy the views to the west. The area adjacent to the house will be landscaped with lawn, perennials and a lavender garden. The balance of the site will be maintained as an open meadow with seasonal grasses.
