Exterior Allure: Seamless Integration with Nature

The sloping terrain and strategic placement of the home on the highest point of the lot ensure its visual prominence, allowing the structure to blend seamlessly with the lush, verdant surroundings.

The adjacent dining area, with its striking pendant lighting and comfortable, yet stylish seating, offers an inviting space for formal gatherings and intimate dinners.

Cozy Living Room: A Refined Retreat

The living room, with its plush, neutral-toned furnishings and warm, wooden accents, creates a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The towering brick fireplace, with its sculptural presence, anchors the space and adds a touch of rustic charm. Large windows and sliding doors ensure that the room remains well-connected to the lush, surrounding landscape, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living.

Seamless Outdoor Living

The Tesche House’s outdoor living spaces are a true highlight, seamlessly integrating with the interior through the generous use of glass and strategic placement of the pool and terrace.
