About this Property
This entertainer’s dream combines timeless charm with modern amenities. Set on a rare 3/4-acre flat lot, this French country retreat is minutes from top schools, BART and the 24 freeway. A marble foyer draws one into the living areas, adorned with white oak flooring. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero wine cooler, La Cornue range, Calacatta countertops, and designer lighting. Dine at the counter, in the nearby breakfast nook, or in the adjoining formal dining room. The kitchen opens to an expansive family room with oversized fireplace, pitched beamed ceilings and an elite television and sound system (which extends outdoors). A rec/game room sits alongside. The primary suite boasts French doors spilling outside, and an office with dual built-in desks. Three other bedrooms complete the main floor, and downstairs is a large area, with its own private bath and entrance, perfect as a nanny unit or gym. The back yard features expansive lawns, a fireplace, pergola, outdoor kitchen, pool, putting green, sport court, flagstone dining/entertainment areas, and ample space to add a guest house or ADU. Redwoods and oaks surround the home. A slate roof designed to last a lifetime and comprehensive sprinkler system protect the property. Parking is easy in the garage or gated parking court.
