Property Description
Nestled among towering mature trees within a fully fenced perimeter is a one-time residence of renowned local architect Bill Otwell who designed and built this home as one of his original adobe designs. Beautifully situated on 4 flat, usable acres in the peaceful Granite Creek neighborhood of Chino Valley, the white stucco exterior, hand-crafted log trim, ponderosa pine log beams set the tone for this Sante Fe styled home. Three exterior patios, perimeter flagstone walkways, tiered terraces and a stunning new courtyard with stacked granite walls create a series of distinct outdoor living areas designed for lush mountain views, warm sunrises and sultry sunsets from your own private sanctuary. Sun-filled rooms with expansive window views merge the interior living spaces to the gorgeous exterior spaces. The glazed flagstone flooring, log transoms and beams, inlaid tile and woodwork throughout speak to the deep architectural character woven into every corner of the interior of this home. The kitchen is a showpiece of old-world architecture paired with modern function, featuring an all-new suite of GE Café matte white appliances. A stunning custom-designed fireplace anchors the space and the wood-burning stove adds warmth and presence beneath ponderosa pine log and cedar ceiling.
