Windows and skylights throughout the home fill the space with natural light, and the sun drenched deck is the perfect spot for outdoor dining.Next door, a charming standalone guest cottage with a full kitchen and bathroom, high ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a large deck overlooks the seasonal creek below, with intimate canyon views.
