Property Description
A rare offering within the coveted Willowmere Association, 44 Willowmere Avenue presents a unique opportunity in a special waterfront enclave. This four-bedroom residence captures beautiful water views and is set amid mature, curated landscaping, creating a private, garden-like setting. A true mid-century modern home, it was designed as the personal residence of Joyce (architect) and William (landscape designer) Rutherford, a Northern California husband-and-wife team, with a thoughtful connection between architecture and nature. The existing footprint offers flexibility, complemented by a heated pool and a walkable, highly desirable location.
