This light filled home boasts both eastern and southern exposures and enjoys day-long sun through its clerestory and tall bay-facing windows, as well as floor to ceiling views opening to the newly-built glass railing deck. These panoramic windows line the living/dining room, den and bedrooms. It's multiple patio and garden areas provide varied opportunities for outdoor living while enjoying the view and the parade of sailboats going in and out of Richardson Bay. The Butterfly House offers four bedrooms and three full baths in 1700+ sq. ft. The uniquely designed circular front door opens to the ground level ensuite bedroom with full bath and the redwood circular staircase to the main floor.
