A Country Estate and So Much More...
Stately brick pillars beckon you down the circular drive that leads to this extraordinarily unique property set on almost a level acre within the beautiful Reliez Valley. Towering redwoods guard the entrance and shield the home from the street while profusely blooming flower beds line the driveway along with delicate Japanese maple and birch trees.
The property is beautifully landscaped throughout its entirety -- designed for entertainment and recreation -- all wonderfully integrated with the custom-built 4713+/- sq. ft., 4 bedroom and 4.5 bath home that is positioned front and center on the property. A 1056+/- sq. ft. basement has innumerable possibilities for storage or a possible wine cellar. A gated entrance leads you down the side of the property to a unique “barn” that was custom-built and architecturally styled to complement the main home, with a multitude of potential functions. The ground floor is occupied by 2912+/- sq. ft. of finished garage space and half-bath with a cement slab floor. Upstairs, there is 1456+/- sq. ft. of finished interior that includes a small kitchen area and bathroom… potentially suitable for a home-based business, recreation or a myriad of other applications.
A dramatic foyer welcomes you into the main home where the original “signature” Marchant open beams define the formal living room while the high ceiling and French doors of the formal dining room add impact. Rich hardwood floors lead into the large, open kitchen with its granite island and spacious informal dining area with beautiful wood-slatted cupola ceiling. The kitchen opens in its entirety to the expansive family room that features a stunning vaulted ceiling constructed from rare, clear redwood with over-sized skylights that cascade light into the room. A massive brick wood-burning fireplace is a focal point, along with the wine bar and French doors that lead to the rear patio areas.
Once outside, the expansive covered backyard patio leads to an enormous lawn with a meandering pathway that wraps around it -- embraced by gorgeous gardens. A separate recreation area was designed for children’s play, or can be easily modified for other purposes. Beautiful vines climb majestic trees that surround the outdoor yard areas, adding beauty, grace and character to this truly exceptional estate property.
