The four-bedroom, two-bath property has 2,145 square feet of living space, and it was recently renovated with period-appropriate updates that include light fixtures by Louis Poulsen and George Nelson, dark-stained shiplap paneling in the living room, and a remodeled kitchen clad in teak and turquoise tile, with a polished concrete floor and sliding doors that lead out to the back terrace.

High ceilings and stacked interior spaces contribute to the home’s airy feel, while numerous cozy and quiet spots provide opportunities for relaxing. To top it all off, the home has a super dreamy office—perfect for working from home. Scroll ahead for a look inside.
