The one-level custom home has three en-suite bedrooms, guest bath, and an additional one bed, one bath, semi-attached casita.  The flow and open floor plan of the traditional gathering spaces from the kitchen to the dining room to the great room and beyond, all facilitate seamless transitions between indoor-outdoor areas.  According to the owners, parties start with appetizers at the entry courtyard then continue to main courses at the large kitchen island.  Finally, dessert is served on the adjacent outdoor patio, where guests can swim or relax and enjoy the picture-perfect views.  “I love the outdoor covered patio: most of the year we can entertain our friends and families here,” the Mrs. of the house explains. “My husband can barbecue, and there can be friends around him, so he doesn’t feel so lonely while he’s cooking.  Likewise, others surround me in the kitchen.  It’s one big room, which is exactly what we wanted to accomplish.”
