The entry sets the tone beautifully. Large marblelook porcelain tiles give the space a bright, luxurious finish but are incredibly durable for a busy family. Just beyond, the open-riser staircase is a showstopper. The light white oak treads, glass railing and matte black hardware create a sculptural element without feeling heavy. Behind it, a subtle paneled wall adds dimension and interest to an otherwise clean-lined space.
Around the corner, a glass-enclosed wine wall feels like a piece of art. Soft wood tones, black details and a glowing stone backdrop make it a natural extension of the home’ s palette that is simple, warm and modern.
The main living area is where the house really exudes that effortless elegance. Huge windows frame the greenery outside, making the ravine part of the décor. A long marble-look slab surrounds the linear fireplace, creating a crisp focal point between two custom white oak built-ins. Everything feels intentional, but nothing feels fussy or overdone. It is the kind of space that invites you to sit down and stay awhile.
