From the Listing: "Hidden behind a lush, tropical garden on a generous parcel, this simple, handcrafted home offers a rare sense of calm. The home unfolds as a series of bright, interconnected rooms where indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly. A vaulted, open-beam great room with skylights anchors the house, while the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together in an easy rhythm that feels both open and intimate. Outside, the landscape is as carefully considered as the architecture. Expansive decks, winding garden paths, and quiet places to gather are woven into a lush, tropical garden that opens onto an unbuilt stretch of land, creating the feeling of living beside a quiet nature preserve. Birds, changing light, and the rhythm of the seasons become part of daily life. Detached outbuildings offer flexible space for a studio, office, workshop, or storage, while a newly installed three-bedroom septic system provides room for future possibilities."
