Private but not secluded, you will love this property! Meticulous attention to detail was given to every phase of building this home from the beginning, with very careful and selective clearing of trees. Glancing out the abundance of front windows, you will enjoy, among other things, a special Redwood tree that the builder went to great care to work around to ensure it will be there for the future homeowner’s enjoyment. From the moment you see this house from the street, you know you are in for a treat. Sitting upon a slight knoll, it has a stately yet warm and inviting appearance. The front entryway sets the stage for what you can expect once inside, a warm, sophisticated elegance. The custom spiral stairway, welded by a craftsman on location, is finished with the gorgeous, exotic hardwood, Tigerwood. Tigerwood makes an excellent decking surface as it is low maintenance and naturally resistant to the perils of exposure to nature. After ascending the grand staircase, once you step inside the front door you will feel like you are "home". Warm, rich, natural, textures and colors are masterfully blended to compliment the expansiveness of the greatroom and open floor plan. From the slate entryway to breathtaking hardwood flooring, granite slab countertops and gorgeous cabinetry, the artistry of the builder is evident.

Whether cozying up with the family or entertaining a crowd, this layout, with it’s spectacular greatroom and open floor plan, will delight you. With it’s abundance of double pane windows, you will be bathed in natural light, all the while without sacrificing your privacy. A cooks dream, the kitchen features a seemingly endless amount of beautiful cabinetry, (another nice feature is the quite close drawers throughout the house). The chef will be delighted with the natural gas island cooktop, stainless steel appliances featuring Dacor oven, microwave and warming oven, a hot water dispenser, professional quality Grohe faucet and under counter task lighting. When it is time to clean up, watching the squirrels play and enjoying the beautiful backyard view from the large windows which frame the kitchen sink will be a welcome distraction from mundane tasks such as rinsing the dishes! To top everything off after a long day you will enjoy winding down in luxury in the master bath. The large shower, tub surround and countertop is tiled in beautiful limestone (you may spot a fossil or two). The shower features your choice of rain shower, hand-held or traditional shower head. Or perhaps you are in the mood for relaxing in the jetted tub. You will find this bathroom to have plenty of counter space and double sinks so everyone has their space.

The second bathroom upstairs is tiled with a travertine countertop as well as shower surround. With the shower and sink in separate rooms this bathroom can accommodate more than one person at a time while maintaining privacy. Your guests will be delighted when they step into your powder room, featuring a custom vanity with a granite top, vessel sink and a beautiful faucet jetting out from the wall. The slate floor continues the theme of the entryway. This house answers that universal question, "Is there EVER enough storage?" with a resounding "YES!" Closets and cabinets galore, including in the laundry room, which also has a countertop for convenience as well as a utility sink and a window, continuing the theme of plenty of natural light throughout the house. Back to the topic of storage, in the basement you will find approximately 472 square feet of unfinished space which will make an incredible storage area as is, or one could have this space finished for whatever you desire; perhaps a media room, play room, family room, hobby room, work shop or second office. The possibilities are many. Also, there is an excellent spot for a wine cellar for wine enthusiasts.
