Description

NATURE IS CALLING. Spectacular convergence of an edge of forest setting with breathtaking views captured throughout this stunning architectural masterpiece with walls of glass and dramatic exposures. World famous Lily Rock and acres of pristine forest, seemingly at your doorstep, beckon from across Tahquitz Creek. Located at the end of a quiet, cul-de-sac street in Fern Valley, this 1997 custom built home was sited to maximize privacy and views while living within the beautiful natural landscape. The large cathedral ceiling, open beam great room with floor to ceiling ledge-stone fireplace, has striking multi-level windows with unmatched views. An open concept kitchen offers mid-century style cabinets and high-end appliances. There are three private bedroom and bath suites, each with its' own deck and distinct views, including a large primary open beam bedroom with huge windows framing Lily Rock, a built in home office area, a wood stove and a primary bath with walk-in shower. In addition, there is a separate upper deck with spectacular daytime views of Lily Rock and shimmering starry skies at night, a laundry room and attached single car garage with work shop/storeroom space.
