This single level home has a clean , modernist aesthetic and features many architectural details , including lighted , recessed shelves for his museum quality artifacts , multiple fireplaces , concrete floors , French doors throughout , and 12' beamed ceilings. The 2 bedroom main house opens to a gracious entry courtyard, and flows seamlessly into the original house.
