This is a view of the back of the house, and it shows how the architect makes reference to a Mondrian painting with the layout of the windows. Click to see the front of the home...

Front. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
The front of the house is all angles and clean lines. Built in 2004, this house is only 13 years old, but has no problem using designs from decades earlier. But as cool as this looks, the really good details are inside. Scroll to check them out...

The living room sets the feeling for the rest of the house; bamboo flooring, high ceilings, and chrome accents throughout. Click to see it from a different view...

Here you can see where the living room mimics the squares and rectangles of a Mondrian, with bonus points for the circle of lights in the center. Scroll to see one more picture of the living room...

Okay, this is the very last time I will bring up Piet Mondrian, but look at this wiindow and then look up Tableau I, 1921 (Mondrian). This is where pictures are worth a thousand words, etc. Click to check out the dining area...

Dining area. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Since this level is all open space, I can't say this is a dining room, per se, but this dining area would do just fine for a casual lunch on a sunny day, or a more formal dinner. I like how the interior decor matches the style of the house, and I wonder if the next homeowner would have to get rid of their existing furniture if it was, say, dark wood Victorian or Baroque? (then again, they may not mind at all...). Scroll to see the kitchen...

Kitchen. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
From here, the kitchen is deceptively minimalist. According to the listing some of the highlights here are a Miele cooktop with 6 gas burners, a Miele food warmer, and a 42" stainless steel Subzero refrigerator. Click to see from another view...

Here's a good view of the Subzero refrigerator, and you can see there's a lot more going on than we first viewed the space. Scroll to head to the upper loft...

Upstairs. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Heading upstairs is an open loft area with an additional living room and wet bar. You can see the design emphasis on making the entire home feel interconnected - the circular hanging light is the same as downstairs, and the color scheme is pulled through. Click to check out the bedroom...

Bedroom. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
This upstairs bedroom is one of the best examples of using windows both artistically and to allow the most light in without making the room feel too exposed. That corner window makes a big difference - although, I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for getting up there every week to dust. Scroll for another view...

Another reason this room feels so open is that the back wall doesn't extend all the way to the ceiling (better airflow throughout), and the reading bench by the window can add extra storage (if it's equipped with a hinged lid...). Click to check out the bathroom...

Bathroom. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
This bathroom is what's on the other side of the wall behind the bed. Now, there's an argument to be made for why the open ceiling space may not be a good idea - but it's not mine to make so I'll leave it at that. We've seen the loft now, but didn't finish exploring downstairs. Click to head back down...

Slide 13 of 22

Stairs. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Here's a nice view of the stairs we didn't view when we first headed up, and as you can tell, there's another level to explore. We already saw the living room, so scroll to head down one more flight...

Downstairs hallway. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Here's the downstairs hallway that first step down to. The modernist design is still evident with the occasional unexpected angle thrown in. Click to head to the den...

Den. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
Here we have a workspace that has no time to worry about the aesthetics. It's still well-planned, but the emphasis is on getting things done - color scheme matching or not. But wait a second, head back out to the hall. Scroll through to see if you see what I see...

We breezed past this downstairs wet bar the first time, but check out that room...is it the wine cellar? Click to find out...

Wine cellar. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
This is the very artistic, very unique 300 bottle wine cellar and tasting room; it was custom crafted by a local artisan. I think the magazine holders are an especially nice touch. Scroll through to see the downstairs bedroom...

While there's still a judicious use of windows, the bathroom is fully contained (no open walls - lots of privacy). Click for another view...

Slide 19 of 22

From here you can see that they used the corner window design - though much more easily accesible for cleaning - along with the built-in reading lounge. But after all this sitting in the living room, working in the den, and sitting at the wine cellar, how can a homeowner stay fit? Scroll to find out...

Workout room. (Photo courtesy of Pacific Union International)
...with a custom workout room, of course. I don't see room for yoga, but with all the entertaining and wine going on, it's probably best to work up a little bit of a sweat. Click to head back outside...

Healdsburg plaza is just minutes away, and with this 3 car garage you'll be able to keep the paint job protected on all your autos. Scroll to see one last view of this artistic abode...

After a day of running errands, working, or even a day trip to Bodega Bay, this is the view of the house the homebuyer sees in the early evening.
