Quincy Jones Tucked back from the street and resting on a slight knoll, this redwood sided home presents a powerful faade with its projections, cantilevered balconies and dramatic gardens. A glass-enclosed stairway greets one at the entry which leads immediately to an open floor plan encompassing living, dining and family rooms all serviced by the kitchen and boasting a peek-a-boo ocean view. A brick fireplace acts as the focal point in the living room with floor to ceiling glass doors and windows that look out to more well curated gardens and a beautiful pool in the generously sized backyard.Two family bedrooms and a housekeeper's suite make up the first floor. The master suite commands the entire second floor with its wrap around balcony and distant city views.
