Nestled on 9.14 acres within its own canyon and perched within a bird sanctuary in the small, private gated community of Falcons Pointe sits a truly artistic, Craftsman-style, completely private 4 bedroom 3.5 bath grand bungalow. Abutting Bidwell Park, the embracing eaves, Craftsman-style board and bat siding and the thirty-six ponderosa pine lodge poles lend an earthy, warm energy to this beautifully designed 5,800 square foot home.


With whimsical inlays, fine-crafted dovetailing and graceful architecture, this grand bungalow presents a timeless elegance. In the living room, windows fill the vaulted space with light, welcoming views yet insuring privacy. A massive masonry fireplace sets off the living room from the foyer, offering a distinguished and commanding presence. The handcrafted, period-inspired custom Honduran mahogany, cedar and walnut woodwork throughout make the rooms feel warm and comforting. There are numerous hidden panel doors throughout the house offering clean, uncluttered simplicity. At the base of a beautifully crafted staircase sits a 1200-bottle wine cellar and a large multi-purpose space. Three-zone radiant heat and red oak wood floors invite and calm. The sense of space, openness of the rooms and the rustic bold styling convey a feeling of antiquity with precise attention-to-detail. A window to the sky frames much of the ceiling in the kitchen allowing light to flood in and warm the room. Custom materials such as tile, slate, granite, etched glass and metal work give a contemporary yet traditional appeal. An arched interior bridge joins the family room with the bonus room and bedrooms, promising a restful retreat at walks end. The master suite is exceptional with a heavily wooded forest as its backdrop. The master bath offers a quiet haven with a cast iron Jacuzzi tub tucked into its own alcove, custom redwood wet/dry sauna and a walk-in closet. The many repeated artistic design elements tie the home together in a masterful, meaningful way.


This one-of-a-kind residence has a very organic feel, it relates well to the environment around it, offering a peaceful, calming air. There is not a detail missed; in fact, such an impressive interpretation of Craftsman architecture is unparalleled in this area.
