About This Home

As of March 2023

This Spanish-style estate, on 4.6 acres, is surrounded by mature oaks and redwoods and commands sweeping views of Happy Valley hillsides and Mt. Diablo. Outdoor entertainment possibilities are endless; the back yard features a pool, flat lawn, hot tub, firepit, fireplace and covered dining area. Inside, the home is large and airy. Enter through double doors on the main level, and gracious stairways with distinctive railings lead up and down to additional rooms. The bedrooms all are large, most with en-suite bathrooms and all with ample closets. The tiled main floor features elevated and beamed ceilings and oversized windows to capture verdant views. Two family rooms (one on the main level, one upstairs) and a casual living room provide space for entertainment and play. Two offices (one on the main level, another downstairs) accommodate work and study, and a well-appointed gym offers elevated ceilings and ample workout space. The kitchen is centrally located and features top appliances.
