This stunning home has been described as your own luxury resort. Just as spectacular at night with the sparkling star-studded sky as it is in the day with soaring 180 degree views of Sonora and the Sierra Foothills - as far as Yosemite. Your views are constantly evolving with the movement of the sun and the changing of the seasons and weather. The home was designed by renowned architect Cooper Kessel and won the prestigious American Institute of Architects Design Excellence Award. On one of the most desirable, peaceful and walkable streets in the county, you ll enjoy a location convenient to town yet with a private vantage point high above it all. The vaulted ceiling draws your eyes up and a unique system of layered sky windows and lighting brings in varied lighting as the day progresses or weather conditions change. In this home, you are living with the sky. An entertainer s dream, this one-of-a-kind circular home has an open floor plan with the living, dining and kitchen areas, all centered around expansive windows, which then continue to flow on to the outside deck and views. You are literally on top of the world here and able to enjoy your private views both inside and out. The extensive deck space and sparkling pool area are perfect for hosting lavish parties or intimate dinners. An office with pocket doors is conveniently located off the main living area. Private bedrooms and baths line the main hallway, in addition to a storage room. Downstairs is a unique room with a view, perfect for an artist's studio, wine cellar, media room, play space, office, home gym or workshop. With direct access to covered parking, outdoor space and a private driveway entrance as well as its own bathroom, it could also make a perfect space for guests. In addition to the award-winning design and luxurious features of the home, it was also built to be environmentally friendly and practical. There are several energy-conservation features. The solar heating system is a combination system in which solar heats the interior space of the house via a radiant floor heating system as well as the domestic water, plus any excess solar is used to heat the pool and spa. The cooling system utilizes an underfloor plenum for air distribution (a concrete-sealed airspace underneath the home), an evaporative cooling unit which discharges air into the plenum, and a barometric damper system to exhaust air through the attic. Additionally, the home is oriented to take advantage of solar exposure: minimal west exposure, maximum south-facing glass, passive solar heating in the winter which shines onto the thermal mass of the 10-ton fireplace to store heat, and overhangs that are sized to shade the exterior wall in summer and allow solar heat into the home in winter. With so many thoughtful design features for your enjoyment, convenience and energy-conservation, enjoying life to its fullest here will come to you organically. It is an oasis - whether you are seeking a unique, luxury vacation or retirement home, or an amazing place to raise your family. You will find your peace here, among the clouds.
