Style Notes
Elegant luxury. Accessed down a beautiful driveway and inspired by the California casual aesthetic, the house has been designed using neutral tones and warm textures, with the colorful, fun playroom being the exception. Large windows allow in plenty of bright, natural light and the house has clean lines, yet is traditional and comfortable. We love the hanging rattan chair on the outside porch, the eat-in kitchen with high ceilings, and the calm neutrals that invite instant relaxation.
