The upper level bedroom opens onto a semi-circular balcony that provides impressive city lights and airport views to the southwest. Four rooms have coves with indirect lighting along the ceiling edges; the dining room has an oval coffered ceiling with cove lighting around the oval. The exterior was designed to be its own living area. Three of the travertine paved courtyards are shaded by arched porticoes. Under one portico, immediately accessible from the indoor kitchen, is the outdoor kitchen with granite counters, sink, electrical outlets and ample space for a barbecue unit, smoker, cook top, and small electric oven. A wood cabinet is below. The center courtyard is semi-interior with the open side showing the substantial southwest views. An 8-foot Plexiglass dome is centered in the ceiling above. All of the portico pillars and much of the rest of the exterior are clad in Indian sandstone. The remainder of the exterior is stucco. On the mechanical side: dual grinder waste pumps; two temperature zones in the main house; dedicated mini-split air unit in the upper bedroom; water supply pressure pump and filter. The privacy this superb home offers is rare; only two other houses can be seen from the courtyards and the "view" side of the house. This is a home that expresses grace, lightness, clean lines and complete functionality.
