Located in the picturesque neighborhood of Forest Hills this modern marvel is as functional as it is innovative. The homeowners have actually lived at this address for many years and opted to tear down the original structure to build their dream home. But finding the right architect turned out to be a bit harder than they imagined. As luck would have it they discovered their next door neighbor and architect, Jay Matthiesen was able to see their vision. Jay came up with a plan that gives the homeowners a unique contemporary design with a livable family environment.

A stone walkway leads you to the impressive glass entry. Twenty-two foot ceilings with front and rear facing walls of glass allow you to see through the center of the home filling it with light. Upon entering you’ll notice the limestone fireplace which is the centerpiece of the living room. Privacy is not an issue as a smooth stucco exterior is used on either end of the home. Uniquely designed wooden screens protect the bedrooms from street views.

With two teenagers and abundant family gatherings large rooms are needed for entertaining. A 400 square foot kitchen with oversized black marble bar meets their every need. Notice the 12 ft. wall of natural wood lined cabinetry. Upstairs a game and media room allows for additional gathering space as well as a teenagers hideaway. The second floor affords spectacular views of the neighborhood and backyard oasis with pool and fire pit. This residence is just over 5,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms.
