Welcome to 1106 E 45th Way, also known as the "Sunlight House" or "Bernice Tay Residence," by the acclaimed architect Paul Tay. This exquisite custom modern home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and set on a generous 7,521 sq ft lot.

Retreat to the serene backyard, featuring various lounging areas, a dining space, and a putting green—all thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful outdoor experience that seamlessly complements the interior.
