It has been said that how you do anything is how you do everything. The sparkling cleanliness of my clients’ cars is the first of many indications that they treat the things around them with the respect they deserve. With a four car garage fully equipped with a home car washing station (hot water, floor drain, and all), my seller has enjoyed the act of washing his own cars in his own garage, year round. And the whole space is tidy, with beautiful built-ins to serve all your garageor clean man caveneeds. When my sellers gutted and remodeled this home, they enlisted the talented Mr. Warren Lloyd of Lloyd Architects. Every detail was carefully considered and executed to take advantage of the siting of the home upon its large and terraced lot. Not to mention, the home is planted in the best circle, in one of the best neighborhoods in the city, with some top-notch neighbors to boot. If you’ve been hit with the layered lines and architectural angles and immaculate landscape in front, then you’ll agree, there’s no denying the immediate curb appeal. This is just a hint of what’s to come in the backyard, filled with terraced gardens, stacked stone walls and solid stone steps, a waterfall and pond, and a putting green. All this, and a multitude of plants and mature trees climbing up the wall of scenery make this one of the best outdoor spaces I’ve seen. The indoor living space consists of a primary bedroom on the main floor, with a wall of windows that stretches to take in the horizon of valley views. A well-positioned kitchen connects the indoor and outdoor space in back, with a see-through double-sided fireplace as a centerpiece between the two. This home is just as well-suited to family life as it is to entertaining, with a theater room and kitchenette downstairs that won’t let you miss a play or crucial scene when you need to grab a snack. There’s plenty of room to stretch out inside, while a proper balance of intimate spaces has been maintained. There are some obvious things that my sellers do very well, and maintaining this lovely home is one of them. They inspire me to curate my surroundings with a little more precision and consistency, and to commit to doing even the little things with more intention. Come take a look, and admire the fruits of positive effort at every level.
