Prominently situated atop a private hill this incredible Country English estate showcases unmatched valley and mountain views. Designed by architect Don Crenshaw and built to the exacting standards and quality of the early 20th Century but with the modern amenities of today, this elegant home is for the most discriminating buyer. As you round the corner of a private road you catch a glimpse of this masterpiece and, ascending the driveway, you are transported to the pages of a fairy tale. An elegant wrap-around veranda gives guests a first opportunity to fully take in the majestic view and the massive hand carved front door only begins to suggest the exquisite nature of this home. The entry hall is 2-stories high, and the intricately laid Virginia Hardwood parquet floor complements the regal hand hewn newel posts and bannister. Off of the entry is a stately library and graceful living room. Both the living room and library continue to showcase the valley views. There is a large stone and brick fireplace that separates the living room from the distinctive hexagonal formal dining room. The dining room has a soft white washed beamed ceiling and French doors to a patio and rear gardens. Adjacent is the modernized kitchen, which features a luxurious honed marble island, high-end appliances, a large walk-in pantry, and custom cabinets. The adjoining breakfast area has pleasant views of the verdant lawn and sparkling pool. Both the kitchen and breakfast area are open to the step-down family room. The family room has a substantial fireplace, expansive bar, and French doors to a private shady courtyard. The main level is complete with a laundry room with extensive storage, bedroom, ¾ bath, and powder room for guests. The second level has two bedroom suites, including a palatial master suite and two additional bedrooms that share a hall bath. The master suite occupies the entire East wing of the home. There is a spacious main bedroom area with a cathedral window and trussed beamed ceiling, cozy retreat with fireplace, private balcony with gorgeous mountain views, large bathroom with spa tub and oversized shower, and the largest, most lavish closet with two separate cedar-lined areas. The grounds of this estate were designed with California living in mind! The entertaining level features a built-in bar-b-que, expansive brick terrace, refreshing pool, separate spa, and carefully manicured plantings. The sunny upper garden is prime space to grow organic fruits and vegetables, and the lower level has endless possibilities for development. This magnificent Country English estate provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to a very fortunate buyer.
