Imagine a glass enclosed treehouse, and you’re close to capturing the magic of this brown shingle beauty. With a perfect mix of warmth and grandeur, this five-bedroom, three-bath home shines as an architectural classic with a heart set on family. While the craftsmanship has a feel of another century, the residence has undergone thoughtful renovations to preserve historic charm while embracing new world conveniences. Sporting a covered front porch, beamed ceilings and original wainscoting, a brick-clad fireplace, and a charming built-in window seat, the house presents a luxe-but-casual balance – a feast for the eyes with authentic arts and crafts details, always comfortable and inviting. A hundred years ago, living in a house made of redwood shingles was an expression of reverence for nature — today the easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces takes advantage of California’s idyllic weather and evokes that same reverence. With plenty of sunny spaces for family living and sociable entertaining, the look is at once of the moment and rooted in the past—evidence, no doubt, of the home’s bright future.
