Shou gi ban (burnt Japanese wood) siding presents a sleek exterior. The open, symmetrical floor plan is an eye pleaser, with smooth lines, minimalist design, and luxury building materials and finishes. The main level offers luxurious Italian tile under your feet and two long walls of floor-to-ceiling windows from the central main living area to the single bed-and-bath suites at either end. A deck extends along the living area on one side of the house. In the quartz kitchen, top-of-the-line appliances are neatly built in to the landscape, maintaining clean lines. Bedroom occupants enjoy large walk-in closets, glass-enclosed walk-in showers, and floor-to-ceiling views of the breathtaking surrounding woods. The symmetry continues with a stairway to the lower level outside of each suite. The lower level has two more bedrooms with a full bath between them, in addition to a laundry and mud room, and large theater or rec room with screen and projector for entertainment. Floors and walls are polished concrete. The incredible grounds were created with the philosophy "flat garden in forest woods".
