The Storybook House. Featured in Dwell, Design Milk, and ArchDaily—and designed by architect Randy Bens—this home is a masterclass in blending heritage with modernity. The 1930s English Storybook house retains its original hardwood floors, brass-accented windows, and timeless charm, now enhanced by custom millwork and a contemporary kitchen. Set on a lush, manicured 52' x 132' lot, basalt pathways weave through English gardens to a striking backyard studio—clad in yellow cedar and finished with birch plywood interiors and a 19-foot Douglas Fir desk. Powered and plumbed from the main house, it offers a peaceful, self-contained workspace. With a double garage, sauna, cold plunge, and a seamless fusion of old and new, this home is a rare, artful retreat—ready for its next chapter.
