Once owned by the musician Beck and carefully updated by its current owners, the expansive residence is a stunning example of post-and-beam architecture.

The current homeowners meticulously refinished every surface of the original home—from the ceilings and floors to the walls and cabinetry. The process took over a year and a half, and the updated home displays a careful mix of contemporary features and classic style.

Spread across 5,000 square feet, the refurbished post-and-beam interior retains hints of the American craftsman style. The home offers a total of five bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well as a den, a lofted playroom, and a large, unfinished basement.
