They built a two-level modern home that spans the ravine. The driveway, garage, entry, and one bedroom are up on street level. The rest of the house is downstairs: including three more bedrooms. The ravine spanning bridge portion of the home includes the kitchen, dining area, and livingroom (with fireplace).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlsbadistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/hr1000504716-26.jpg\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.carlsbadistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/hr1000504716-26.jpg','popup','width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0');return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carlsbadistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/hr1000504716-26-tm.jpg\" height=\"322\" width=\"430\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Hr1000504716-26\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If this lot had been in the wilds of Pennsylvania (like <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paconserve.org\/fw-building.asp\">Frank Lloyd Wright&#8217;s Fallingwater home<\/a><\/strong>) and built across a stream with a view of a lake it would be worth every penny of it&#8217;s $1.35 million asking price.
