Designed by renowned architect, L. Jane Hastings, this home is both architecturally dramatic and unflinchingly practical. The entry way, dining room, and living room wrap around a spacious patio and feature fir paneling, each piece placed with the grain running vertically to create a warm and inviting space.  Floor-to-ceiling windows (of imported glass from Belgium) and vaulted ceilings generously provide natural light, create drama, and invite the outside in.  Purposefully placed custom-made lights add a modern design element and throw interesting shadows on the ceiling.  The serene bedroom wing can be closed off with pocket doors from the more dramatic entertaining areas, which include a built-in bar and hidden hi-fi system. Options like walk-in closets and powder rooms, that are must-haves for today’s lifestyle, were not a given at the time Hastings was drawing up the plans for this home, but she no doubt knew they’d imbue this home with a lasting livability, and they did; the home has been in this family for 65 years!
