Why it's here: This "extraordinary architectural treasure," designed by David Eric Calvin, is a stylish interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright's solar-hemicycle residence.
Constructed in 1981, the three-bedroom home was built into its 1.45-acre hillside location for passive solar gain. Signature highlights of the 4,136-square-foot midcentury-inspired interior include curved gathering spaces, clerestory windows, glass walls and doors, beamed ceilings, and stonework. The cozy living room has a suspended fireplace and built-in curved conversation seating. A floating staircase leads to a lavish primary suite and an indoor hot tub "conservatory," nestled under a glass ceiling for stargazing.
A separate guest suite has a private entry and access to the outdoor area, surrounded by a koi pond, an outdoor fire pit, and a pergola.
