A secluded country property with timeless structures of stone, stucco, and wood–all designed with state-of-the-art energy efficient systems including geothermal heating and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).
This home is located so near the street because it was originally the carriage house for an adjacent property. Once the lodgings of the legendary actor, Marlon Brando, it fell prey to an ’80s contemporary remodel, but now has morphed into a cottage transitional by means of a cosmetic facelift.
The homeowners include a 22-year old son with muscular dystrophy. The project began with the search for an existing home that could accommodate his and the family’s needs, in particular the ability for him to have a distinct environment yet be connected to the larger whole.
