This masterwork of "ultimate bungalow" design evokes the spirit of the iconic Gamble and Gamble, honoring the Arts and Crafts movement's devotion to natural materials and visible joinery. This hand-crafted sanctuary offers a seamless transition from the wild creek-side environment to a sheltered interior. Clad in traditional cedar shingles with overhanging eaves, the home sits in organic harmony with its acre lot. An 18-foot ceiling anchors the Great Hall, its massive scale made intimate by hand-finished built-ins and intricate millwork. From the elegant dining room wainscoting to custom cabinetry, every detail celebrates "honesty of construction." The expansive canopy deck preserves two ancient redwoods that rise through the decking to create a living ceiling, a direct nod to building around nature. The architecture is a dialogue between forest and floor plan. The open-concept kitchen, with Wolf, Viking, and Sub-Zero appliances, integrates into a timeless space illuminated by lighting that highlights natural textures. True to the Craftsman ideal, French doors in the living room, primary suite, and massive upstairs loft dissolve the boundary between shelter and garden. Modern necessities, a Tesla charger, and turf lawn are implemented with a focus on environmental stewardship.
