Views to Everywhere! Welcome to the architecturally significant “Willis House” built in 1941 and designed by renowned architect William Wilson Wurster.

The house boasts 3,986 square feet of living space, an acre lot, five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

On the lower level of the yard there is a look-out sitting area with a second pond—the perfect place to watch the sunsets or stargaze at night. On hot summer days the gleaming vintage “Paddock” pool is the perfect oasis to sip a drink and cool down. In addition, there is a four-car garage for the car enthusiast, abundant parking in the large driveway and a Tesla charger. The home has owned solar power.
