Discover a private, light-filled sanctuary set in an old oak grove. Published in the late 1950's in International architecture magazines and the San Francisco Examiner magazine, the home has been completely restored, rebuilt, remodeled for timeless living. The home offers casual sophistication, refined finishes and a flexible, open floor plan. Huge, sliding walls of windows frame views of sculptural trees. Enjoy watching deer, squirrels, hummingbirds and hawks in complete privacy. Nearly every room opens to large decks and patios for seamless indoor/outdoor living.
Enter through the secure front gate and turn the corner on the walkway that leads to the large steel and glass pivoting entry door. Relax and entertain in the private garden and patio designed by award-winning landscape architect Stefan Thuilot. A stunning 70 year-old Mediterranean fan palm was planted to anchor the garden and enhance views from inside the house. A modern water feature, bamboo, ferns, succulents and lighting make this garden Zen, by day or night.
Enjoy entertaining in the expansive living areas with glass doors that slide open to decks and gardens. Inspired by Japanese design, 3 bedrooms with en suite baths are simple, quiet and uncluttered. Every room has custom cabinets, drawers and shelving built in to organize and store everything out of sight. The master suite has a large, separate living area that doubles as a family/media room.
Take a walk on the meandering path below the house that leads to the shops, restaurants and Sunday farmer's market in Montclair village - or drive a few blocks up the hill to hike and bike on thousands of acres of scenic trails.
