Newly refined post-and-beam architecture in Marquez Knolls. Swing open the double doors: Your eye carries you through the crisp space, santos mahogany wood floors, and glass walls to the garden and terraces beyond. The expansive living area opens up to a dynamic multi-use terrace, yet intimate on the inside as it focuses on the hearth. Meanwhile, imagine the many ways to create conviviality- dine formally in the great room or alfresco on the beautiful terrace. The updated kitchen, with sustainable cherry wood cabinetry and tasteful finishes, invites you to cheer friends at the cooking island or nestle around the corner banquette. The generous master suite opens to a tropical garden and terrace with spa. Two additional bedrooms are served by a full bath. Once outside, walk along the koi pond with its cascading waterfall, sun in the lounge area, and enjoy the abundance of rich and varied flora including fig, pomegranate, and citrus among 11 different fruit trees. Watch the Santa Monica Mountains change color against the azure sky. Two-car garage. An environment for healing - serene and soothing for body and soul.
