Walking through 821 Toyopa, one embarks on a journey around the world. At every turn, you will see the owners' exotic collection of eclectic artifacts amassed from travels to numerous countries--the perfect backdrop for festive holiday decor.
The proportions and detailed architecture of the home are stunning; tall ceilings lined with weathered farm beams coordinate with the rich alder cabinetry and custom woodwork. The ground floor is a casual, open living area, highlighted by ethnic textiles and whimsical embroidered pillows, evoking a subtle worldly charm. The clean and simple lines of modern furniture, paired with contemporary rugs, enhance the striking architecture, completing the look.
Venturing downstairs into the expansive lower level, you find yourself in the entertainment room, where one can enjoy a film with friends, a wine tasting, or share a tale of adventure.
Take a walk up the back staircase that leads outside and you’ll step into the backyard oasis, featuring a free-form pool and cascading bougainvilleas.
Returning inside, one encounters the grand contoured Spanish stairway with custom wrought-iron rails, and brightly colored, hand-painted tiles, that greet every step. Upstairs you find yourself in the children’s rooms, which are embellished with custom art stencils that reflect their scientific curiosity. Adjacent to the bedrooms is the creativity room, where the children get to explore their inner Van Gogh, adorning the walls with proud works of art.
The master suite is a cozy and comfortable mix of old and new, bringing peace and tranquility to every day. Breakfast can be enjoyed on the balcony after soaking in the luxurious bathtub, uniquely supported by salvaged Pennsylvania farm wood beams, standing in contrast with modern lacquered stools, a primitive Chinese bench, and antique rug.
Throughout your journey, you'll enjoy tasteful holiday decorations perfectly designed to enhance the home's international modern flair. This beautiful home will engage and inspire you to embrace the warmth and wonder of the festive season.
