| This Poway home was designed by award-winning architect Norm Applebaum. Located high on a hill with a commanding view of inland North County this home combines openness & softness constructed with woods that deliver a warm & comfortable feeling. The home is both private and open within a peaceful & soothing
atmosphere. It is a single story home with impeccable design top to bottom. Visitors are immediately struck by the authentic Spanish tile roof, sporting a complex roof design that creates visual interest both inside & out. The wooden front gate welcomes you into a vine covered courtyard with a bubbling spa & the open-air feeling of a Spanish hacienda. Drought resistant landscape requires minimal care & water, boasting expert design both inside & out. The front yard explodes with color in spring with the beauty of a California desert while the backyard deck delivers commanding
views of the entire valley and overlooks a wandering pathway among an abundant
orchard of fruit trees. The clerestory windows both interior and exterior extend the homes spaces visually beyond the walls to other rooms & outdoors. The exposed Douglas Fir beamed ceiling extends through the exterior walls of the home to enhance the seamless indoor/outdoor
flow of the home while also delivering protection from the sun. Inside the home, the
kitchen is expertly designed with space age efficiency to use every inch of cabinet space
including full extension drawers and appliance garages that make cooking a pleasure.
Cabinet facings in the living room and dining room are custom built with trimmed twigs
to extend the authentic Western look throughout the home. Replicas of Indian petroglyphs are painted across the bedroom wall. The home also features a custom designed office & an immaculate three car garage with extensive cabinetry & new epoxy finish floors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTC1uSA0pFI |
