In the heart of St. Helena behind a private gate sits a prized contemporary home designed by architect Lewis Butler, perfectly positioned near Main Street and all its shops and restaurants. With a fusion of modernity and functionality, the home blends contemporary aesthetics with regional influences while respecting the area's natural beauty. The private compound includes the main home, guest cottage, garage, and pool, designed to create an inward-looking sanctuary within its bustling neighborhood. The home exudes tranquility and sophistication with its simple yet luxurious finishes and comes beautifully decorated with bespoke minimalist furnishings. Quarter-sawn oak floors and hand-troweled Italian plaster walls frame the spacious interior, while a pitched-metal roof provides shade over the double-height living area and chef's kitchen. There are two en suite bedrooms, with a media room that may easily convert to a third guest room. Just beyond the threshold is the private courtyard with a heated pool, furnishings, firepit, and outdoor kitchen. The southern exposure lets light in throughout the day. On the street side of the compound, facing the main house and the pool, is an additional guest quarters with an additional full bath with shower. Two car garage with EV charging.
