NEW PRICE. Architecture in balance: living at the edge of design and nature. Suspended above the city in coveted Council Crest, this custom 1989 residence is more than a home — it’s a feat of engineering. Built by Blum/Smith Construction Co. and designed to embrace its dramatic hillside setting, the structure rests on 21 steel piers, each driven up to 20 feet into the ground until they hit bedrock. The result is a sense of weightlessness — where vaulted ceilings, wide-open spaces, and panoramic southern views create a feeling of floating in the trees. Every room in the 3,146-square-foot layout opens to light and landscape, framing a vista that shifts with the seasons. The airy floor plan includes three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with eating area and generous storage. The deck—originally envisioned as a “back yard in the sky” — was fully rebuilt in 2022 with structural plans by James G. Pierson, Inc. and engineering by Grummel Engineering LLC. Executed by Lux Construction at an investment of nearly $280,000, it now stands as a testament to craftsmanship and integrity, hovering just beyond the glass like an extension of the hillside itself. A rare and remarkable home, where engineering, elegance, and nature live in harmony. Of note: views from every room, oversized deck rebuilt in 2022 — steel engineered and structurally reinforced, gas fireplace, 2-car garage with car charger and workshop above, level driveway with off-street parking, located on a pedestrian-friendly stretch of Fairmount Blvd, whole home generator installed in 2025.

Some properties which appear for sale on this web site may subsequently have sold or may no longer be available.
Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.
Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.
Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.
Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.
Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
