About This Home
As of September 2023Spectacular modern craftsman compound on one of the rare double lot streets, measuring a whopping 10,893 sq. ft. 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths of warm, comfortable luxury including a detached ADU/Guest House perfectly positioned at the rear of the property with a separate parking pad. Amazing attention to detail paid over the course of a massive remodel and painstaking renovation which included the addition of ancillary square footage, reconfiguration of space, and the creation of a resort style backyard showcasing an expansive covered patio, swimming pool with Baja shelf & spa, flat lawn, barbecue station, free-standing dry sauna, cold plunge tank, dog run, and a lovely west-facing garden. A stone walkway flanked by a freeform waterfall immediately greets you as you pass through the gate. The Formal entry complimented by reclaimed stain glass barn doors, leads to the centerpiece of the home, a large open concept Great Room featuring distinct living & dining areas with high ceilings, wide plank white oak floors, recessed & custom light fixtures, shutters, and bi-fold glass doors leading to the outdoor entertainment deck. The amazing kitchen anchored by a stunning rear wall clad with striking Ann Sacks copper tile and a huge Quartzite center island, seamlessly blends to create a perfect setting for casual meals at the breakfast bar or preparing a gourmet feast utilizing the Wolf stove, Subzero refrigerator, and other top of the line stainless steel appliances. Downstairs includes two bedrooms, one a suite with private full bath, and the other easily convertible to an office or staff room. A Powder room highlighting a reclaimed stained-glass window & custom vanity, mudroom, and laundry room complete the first level. Two additional bedroom suites up, including a deluxe primary with custom wallcoverings & built-ins, automated shutters, light & airy bath with clawfoot tub, heated tile floor & steam shower, large walk-in closet, and a private lounging terrace. The 2-car garage with ample storage space is currently being used as a gym. 3-room ADU/guest house with a spacious bedroom has its own address and can also be used as a detached office or as a rental unit with private access from the rear end of the property. Additional amenities include solar panels (fully owned with a transferable 25-year all-inclusive warranty), built-in speakers in several rooms, tankless water heaters, multi-zoned A/C with Nest thermostats, and security system with multiple cameras. So many more details to admire and enjoy. A truly special, must-see property! Once you arrive, you will never want to leave!
