A 5,500 square foot 2 story residence in contemporary Craftsman style.  This house features 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, and includes a 5 car garage.  The site slopes substantially from front to rear, a factor which drove the split-level design concept.  From grade at the front of the property, a modest entry foyer leads directly to the expansive great room with fireplace as focus of this space.  Exposed decorative hand-made roof trusses define the character of the space.  The generous master bedroom wing over the garages incorporates a home office.  A stair leads from the foyer down to the first floor space, half of which is buried against the earth slope.  The first floor space features a playful recreation room, complete with separate kitchen, bar and bathroom, and an additional bedroom.  Direct access to the garage is provided by a short hall.
