The quality of this house is out of this world because it was built for her family by a published designer, says Rich Report. Redwood trees of 80 feet or more surround the property, providing a feeling of luxury. The property gives off a sense of retreat.

Over three-quarters of an acre in size, and featuring walls of glass capturing the leafy scenery, this secluded cul-de-sac property was originally designed and built in 1989 by designer Jackie Morgen and husband Lowell. It showcases a "desert modern design with Santa Fe touches," according to Howard, which was updated throughout its history by the Morgens and the current owners.

Upon exiting the gated driveway, a flagstone walkway leads around to a glassy double front door, which overlooks a spacious motorcourt and attached three-car garage. There are four bedrooms and five baths within the three-level living area. High wood-beam ceilings, stone floors, antique Spanish-style doors, and Vietnamese woodwork decorate the interiors. Upon request, furnishings are also available for purchase.

Wet bar steps lead to a stylish kitchen with wood cabinetry, eat-in island, high-end stainless appliances, and breakfast nook adjacent. Additionally, a formal dining room and a master suite with a sunken soaking tub and stacked-stone fireplace are featured.
