From Lee Pasadena Cuellar

Tucked away in a neighborhood of architecturally significant Homes sits 414 Mooresque Drive. This Buff and Hensman, originally built for Conrad Buff's father, is a stellar example of the Midcentury Modern vernacular. This expanded classic post and beam home blends harmoniously with todays modern luxuries and amenities throughout. For the past two years the home has undergone a painstaking, down-to-the-studs thoughtful renovation to blend the classic and new. The kitchen boasts new Miele appliances, custom walnut cabinetry and quartz countertops. Fleetwood doors and windows allow abundant light throughout the day and frame the beautiful vistas to the east and south. A new IPE deck with custom wrought iron railings puts you and your guests among the trees and fauna. All new landscaping provides shelter and privacy. The master bath is a large sanctuary where you’re sure to luxuriate in your Kohler “Tea for Two” jetted tub. The three baths are completed with Altman fixtures & Emtek hardware throughout. The innovative heating and air conditioning system allows for energy conservation as well as maximum flexibility. A true triumph of design and craftsmanship!
