What Tranquility Is All About - Page 2

Connecting the living room to the dining room and galley kitchen are rock walls and clerestory windows. Light wood cabinetry and terra cotta-colored tile counters with rock walls above tie together the rustic-meets-modern look together.

The first bedroom features a three-quarters bath with a river rock wall, and an adjacent den that Fuller notes was, at one time, a gold vault.

Upstairs, an art studio with a built-in work area looks out to oaks and canyon vistas, and a tranquil patio surrounded by the serene sounds of a Corten steel water feature. Peer into shoji screens with dried botanical elements, and you'll discover a master bedroom suite, with a wall of windows, and a cantilevered deck facing out to views of the treetops and pool.

An adjacent lofted library space overlooks the living room in an area separate from the public space, yet connected by a curved stone staircase.

All in all, the two-bedroom, two-bath, 2,942-square-foot home sits on nearly three acres, with a subterranean workshop, rectangular swimming pool and patios, a two-car garage, and more than 160 oak trees on two sizeable, completely separate parcels. There's even a discreet door in the river rock that leads to a wine cellar with built-in wooden wine racks.

The property sits adjacent to El Prieto Canyon, which, according to Fuller's listing, is the historic burial site of abolitionist Owen Brown, and is located at the base of Millard Canyon. In wintertime, when the stream flows through the Angeles National Forest, its rustling waters can be heard from the yard.

In this canyon setting tucked away in the hills, Boulder Crest feels like a magical, mesmerizing place. To enjoy a closer look via a virtual tour, click here.
