Cue the calm, touch the sky, and step into a modern marvel where curated luxury meets the suite life. This singular, one-level penthouse in Castalia is a modernist aerie defined by high ceilings, clerestory windows, a soft barrel-vaulted great room, and floor-to-ceiling glass that blurs the line between living space and the panorama of treetops beyond. Nature is the show, with sky's-the-limit views--wind dancing through the canopy, stories in the clouds, the mood of the sky--offering a continual source of relaxation and spiritual sustenance.

Inside, a blue-chip blend of form, flow, proportion, and materiality unfolds into clean, airy spaces wrapped in crisp museum-white walls and subtle neutrals that frame the greens and blues of the landscape. Every inch reflects an authentic marriage of artistry, craftsmanship, and quality: a sleek tile entry hall, warm hardwoods throughout, cinematic lighting, and California Closets precision in every storage space.

Recent improvements elevate daily life: Hunter Douglas automatic shades, Control4 automation, Lutron lighting, a whole-house dehumidifier, FloLogic leak prevention, and a master plasterer's four-month refinement of every seam. The kitchen delivers luxe functionality with a designer tile backsplash, Franke fixtures--including instant hot and cold water--and a streamlined workspace.
The bathrooms are reimagined sanctuaries with Italian stone, custom cabinetry, Toto specialty commodes, and, in the primary suite, a waterfall soaking tub that fills from the ceiling. A flex room with a sleek, vented Rais of Denmark fireplace, a power nook for bright ideas, and a terrace worthy of the finest summer milieus complete the experience.

Decompress at night and rise restored in the expansive primary suite, where sweeping views read like a meditation on land and sky. A practical side hall with laundry, a basin sink, and custom cabinetry keeps household life effortless. Three dedicated garage parking spaces, two Tesla chargers, and secure internet wiring from the living space to the garage underscore the home's rarefied attention to detail and life-enhancing functionality. 

Let nature envelop you as you're cradled in this treasure trove of high style, where every thoughtful experience is choreographed for the high life--breathing room, creative thinking, and living well” to your new version in the brochure: “Let nature draw you in and high style hold you — this is a home choreographed for gracious living, where breathing room, creative energy, and the art of living well are woven into every detail.
