With extensive use of Dover shell limestone columns, stucco, and a handsome copper roof, the exterior of the home has a rustic yet elegant look.
The living room has a dramatic 20-foot-high ceiling with alder beams and features French doors leading out to the courtyard. The courtyard is perfect for entertaining with a double-sided wood burning fireplace and an outdoor Tuscan pizza oven.
The gourmet kitchen features alder cabinets and a creative use of tiles, granite slabs, and travertine floors. Right off the kitchen is a walk-in butler's pantry, an extensive mudroom, and an elevated dog washing station.
This unique home also offers two master suites, a private office, and a state-of-the-art media room complete with a massive viewing screen and overhead projector for theater-like viewing.
"Our family has known Steve and Julie Hansmann and Hansmann & Sons Construction since 1986. Their company “remodeled” our beach house in Santa Cruz, California during 1987. The remodel was the classic tear down with one original wall left standing. Steve then built us a very contemporary modern home. It is now owned by Andy Grove, former CEO and founder of Intel.
After the 1999 earthquake, the Hansmann’s company rebuilt my sister’s house in Saratoga, California after her house slid off of its foundation during the quake.
In 2005 Steve and his company built for us at the Pronghorn Golf Club in Bend Oregon. The house turned out beautifully.
Steve’s years of experience, incomparable knowledge of all facets of construction, excellent management of subcontractors, absolute integrity, and willingness to “do what it takes” has made our projects enjoyable as well as successful. Throughout all of these projects, spanning 26 years, my wife and I continue to be friends with the Hansmanns and I would highly recommend their company to anyone building a custom home."
