Property Description
Up a secluded private road in a grove of California live oaks is a creative haven with a unique legacy. 'Boulder Crest' is singular: a historic marvel, an architectural gem, a property rising from the landscape -- an enduring biophilic design. Built of massive granite boulders placed at the beginning of the 20th century, the house and grounds are a feat of vision, engineering and artisan masonry. This home seamlessly melds arts and crafts elements with mid-century modernism - the net effect is timeless - from arroyo stone work and old growth redwood to post & beam construction. Serpentine stone-lined pathways cross a network of masonry channels and terraces on the approach to the entry. A keystone engraved '1912' heralds over the arched double door, opening to reveal rich jade-hued concrete floors. Redwood paneling, vaulted beamed ceilings and oversize pendant lanterns warm a jaw-dropping step-down living room, anchored by the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wall of windows. The living room connects to both the dining room and galley kitchen with rock walls and clerestory windows, as well as the first bedroom and adjacent den (once a gold vault, ready to be reimagined as a music room, meditation space, or quiet office). Even the 3/4 bath boasts a beautiful river rock wall th
