Behind a private gate, this extraordinary home was inspired by a 16th-century Japanese farmhouse and built with massive Douglas fir poles in traditional post-and-beam style. Thoughtfully designed with quality craftsmanship, features include soaring combed cedar ceilings, Italian tile floors, intelligent skylights, retractable awning, remote blinds, fresh paint, & new carpet. The great room flows into the dining area, sunroom, kitchen, and out to a wraparound redwood deck thru lg sliding glass doors. The main level includes a half bath, laundry, & a luxurious primary suite with a spacious sitting area & custom walk-in closet. Upstairs offers a 2nd suite with a bedroom, office, built-ins, lots of storage, full bath, & a private balcony.
