Designed for a sloping lot, this tri-level house intrigues the eye and lifts the spirits. Sunlight filters into the grand two-story foyer and living room from tall windows. From the loft overlooking the living room, homeowners can view flames dancing in the fireplace, which is shared by the family room. From the windows or optional French doors in the dining room, owners can behold the outdoor vista. The spacious kitchen houses an island with a downdraft cooktop. Serve food informally in front of the breakfast nook windows or at the island. French doors in the family room lead to the suspended deck. A half-bath and laundry facilities are tucked into the corner near the staircase.
