The design showcases a California organic modern aesthetic, and comes completely furnished, all new inside and out to offer the ultimate turn key experience. Open the front door and the wall of glass sliding doors bring the outdoors in and unite as one with the interior space.

The new warm tone bedroom furniture create a cozy and relaxing environment, Primary bathroom showcases designer lighting and mirrors, with natural limestone herringbone tile floors to complement the travertine stonework throughout. The two additional ensuite guest bathrooms and casita feature designer lighting and mirrors, Kohler fixtures and marble tile floors.
