Brazilian cherry flooring continues throughout, visually unifying the space. The dining area, expanded by the current owner to host 10–12 guests, flows naturally from the living space & opens to an expansive deck. An adjoining office with built-in desk overlooks sculptural garden rock formations, making it ideal as a flex space, wine room, or butler’s pantry, while an enlarged laundry area enhances everyday convenience.
