House to be featured by DWELL MAGAZINE in upcoming article - Located in the desirable Arlington Hills neighborhood, this custom-built architectural gem has been meticulously reimagined over the past three years. The current owner's vision of raw, rustic, and understated modernism celebrates the beauty and richness of basic materials, enhancing the home's dramatic spaces. With ceiling heights reaching nearly 20 feet, this light-filled 4,300-square-foot residence offers a unique living experience reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's hillside homes. Designed with multiple partial-level changes, the home provides a dynamic and flowing layout without any basement square footage. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the hand-mortared brick walls and richly-stained redwood ceilings in a soft grayish olive tone to the light trowel-finish concrete floors and wide plank, European oak wood floors. The four impressive fireplaces add warmth and ambiance, while the large window walls, reaching up to 15 feet tall, fill the home with natural light. FLEETWOOD operable windows and doors, including 10-foot-tall sliders, seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Clerestory windows in the four main common rooms and skylights in the three main bathrooms and foyer ensure the home is bright and inviting. The home features an enclosed poured concrete patio for a private outdoor escape, cantilevered front windows that add a striking architectural element to the facade, and wonderful architectural windows in the two guest bedrooms. The architect designed lighting enhances every space, and the unique artisanal finishes, such as wire-brushed Belgian oak custom cabinets, alabaster lighting, stone sinks, earthy color body porcelain tiles in bathrooms, and custom-designed engineered stone vanity sinks in guest bathrooms, create a luxurious and modern atmosphere. Solid bronze door hardware and switch cover plates speak to the quality and craftsmanship found throughout the home. Located on a tranquil cul-de-sac street in the foothills, this home offers privacy and peace with no rear neighbors, providing city and mountain views backed by state parkland. Despite its serene setting, the home is just minutes away from city activities, shopping, dining, hospitals, and the university. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the direct access to hiking and biking trails in the state parkland off E Tomahawk Drive. This artisanal design approach, high-quality materials, and precise attention to detail have culminated in a truly unique living environment, offering a blend of modern sophistication and natural beauty in this exceptional Arlington Hills home.
