Welcome to The Retreat. If simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, enjoy this extraordinary Mid-Century Modern residence by renowned architects Duncan & Bild. A timeless architectural statement, the home embodies clean lines, thoughtful design, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, creating a sanctuary that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life. Privately situated on a generous corner lot, the property offers an exceptional sense of serenity and seclusion.

Every element has been carefully designed to evoke a sense of calm, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the home's Zen-like atmosphere. Inside, expansive floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and three oversized skylights fill the open floor plan with abundant natural light, while blurring the boundaries between the interior and its lush surroundings.
