    What's special

    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. This home reflects that vision--seamlessly integrating clean modern lines with its surrounding landscape. The existing footprint provides flexibility, while the setting elevates the potential to something truly extraordinary. Enjoy the heated pool and the ease of a walkable, highly desirable location. An exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer to craft a one-of-a-kind residence in an idyllic coastal enclave.
