THE HOME.  This "house of old and new" combines the best of old Tuscany with today’s design innovations and invites visitors through the Mediterranean courtyard that adjoins the dining room, office and garage. The cozy, yet open plan reveals a blend of old and new from the steel fireplace to Lyptus Brazilian wood cabinets, knotty hickory floors, knotty alder wood doors and recycled beams. Exposed stone meanders throughout this charming, five-bedroom, five-bath home. There primary of two staircases, with its elegant modern railing, leads to a three-story stone tower with contemporary design. On the main level is a custom kitchen, family eating nook and study area, an oversized office with views of the Rooney Valley and foothills, and a mud room with lockers and recycling center. Glass doors lead to an outside bridge which connects the deck to outdoor living space. The upstairs master suite includes large walk-in closets, private baths and coffee bar. The art gallery bridge overlooks the great room. The walkout downstairs features a wine room tucked behind a wall of glass, plus a game area, fireplace and AV center.
