A desirable southeastern orientation fills the home with a wonderful warm glow, plentiful windows throughout turn the verdant surroundings into dynamic art, and nearly every room on the main level opens to a magnificent wraparound deck ideal for alfresco entertaining, quiet private lounging, appreciating the vast vista amid refreshing air and sunlight, or stargazing at night. Any cook will appreciate the stylish, well-equipped kitchen, which has been thoughtfully updated to boast a butcher-block-topped island, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, two sinks and trash compactors, and superior-caliber appliances, including dual wall ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. A nearby butler’s pantry and mudroom offers a desk, auxiliary storage, built-in shelving, and an additional sink and dishwasher. The kitchen flows directly to a welcoming dining area that can accommodate a crowd and the living area beyond, which features a wood-burning fireplace and a convenient adjoining wet bar perfect for festive gatherings. Each of the 3 generous, comfortable bedrooms is accompanied by an elegant ensuite bath. Among them, the owner’s retreat includes dual lavish baths and skylit walk-in closets, a serene sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace and a wet bar, a window-wrapped office with a pitched ceiling, and multiple doors to its own deck, from which a garden path leads to the swimming pool terrace and the other alluring outdoor areas.

A private guest or au pair suite with a private entrance is secluded on the lower level and enjoys a living area with built-in bookshelves and wood-burning fireplace, a restful bedroom, and a bath with a walk-in shower and a pedestal sink. Other highlights include a media room or library with wall of bookshelves and a picture window, a skylit hallway lined with folding-louvered-door closets, a laundry room with built-in shelving and a working countertop, a large motor court offering parking for guests, and a 2 door, 2 car garage with a versatile space that includes a sink and built-in storage. The property is an idyllic escape with thriving lawns, colorful flora, an olive grove, raised vegetable and cutting garden beds, a bocce court, and space for a hobby vineyard. Only 45± minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, this is a perfect peaceful escape from the bustle of day-to-day living and a chic haven mere moments from the attractions of Northern California’s wine country.
