Located at 1056 Groveland Road, the massive home features a unique, curving steel structure and plenty of glass Bricks. The 7,000-square-foot home was built into a hillside on a 1.18-acre property. The terraced design creates a series of levels including a pool, a hot tub and a creek that was redesigned to create a reflecting pool. It also features separate parents and children’s levels, curved glass brick skylights, and an ocean view.
