Architecture transcends heritage, pushing through traditional boundaries to follow the sun in this extremely private substantial home. The home was originally designed by renowned Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and more recently updated by the award-winning contemporary architect Noel Lane. In transforming the historic home, Lane rigorously considered every detail to enhance his family's enjoyment of the property. The result? Classic pre-1920s character blends with magical new architectural elements in a family sanctuary that celebrates serene Zen-inspired gardens.
