"With this home, I wanted to create a property that stood out in a sea of contemporary look-alike McMansions," states Harrison. "I worked with a playful mix of modern industrial and French farmhouse styles to create a stylish, distinct structure." Nestled behind a row of thick hedges, the home extends a warm welcome immediately upon crossing the gated entrance, with native plants dotting the stone walkway leading to the front door.
A bright shade of red framing the door and windows pops against the home’s dark gray facade.

Inside, an open floor plan unites the loft-like living and dining areas, which blend effortlessly with the adjacent kitchen. Broad windows and sliding glass doors create an indoor/outdoor connection, while also allowing natural light and fresh breezes to flow through the main level. The home’s overall sense of space is further enhanced by the tongue-and-groove cedar ceilings, which soar at 12 feet high.
On the main floor, La Cantina sliding glass doors stretch across the entire rear wall, fostering seamless indoor/outdoor flow between the living areas and backyard.
