The beautifully designed bathroom includes premium finishes like a Duravit tub, double sink, Hansgrohe fixtures, and marble flooring. Walls of dual-glazed glass sliders bathe the home in natural light and lead to a private outdoor patio with panoramic canyon views. The expansive 7,000 SF lot includes a fully enclosed front yard and a spacious covered terrace tucked beneath the homeideal for outdoor dining or lounging.
