Inspired by Lotusland the home is set in lush landscaping, winding stone paths, gently splashing fountains, specimen succulents, artistic surprises, and drought-tolerant plants, offering a private oasis of tranquility. It is dotted with potting sheds, and accessory structures for storage or workshop. The entire house is solar powered, and built and sited for passive heating and cooling. The addition has radiant floor heating and is well insulated utilizing tiers of stone clad levels resulting in very thick walls and visual integration into the site. The neighborhood is 5 minutes from downtown and shopping yet offers oak dotted hillsides, natural canyons, and glorious mountain and ocean views. It is beloved for its walking, cycling, and a laid back lifestyle. The Rose Garden, Sheffield dog park, Parma Park, Rocky Nook Park, the Botanic Gardens and the Natural History Museum are gathering places for the neighbors. Avoid the freeway and settle down to relax and enjoy your new better life.
