Video Tour
Walking through the front door you’ll find yourself under a generous entry illuminated by the skylight’s natural light. An open-concept living room, dining area and kitchen with multi-level ceilings are designed to work seamlessly for quiet family moments or entertaining a large group. A wall of windows and 12 skylights bring abundant light and views of the lush, redwood-dotted outdoors.
The gourmet chef’s kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances including stainless GE refrigerator, 5-burner Blue Star gas stove, hood and Bosch dishwasher. Designed with high-end finishes including Quartz countertops, carrara backsplash, modern cabinetry with pull out drawers and a large pantry space. The live-edge natural wood slab bar is a nod to the marriage of a natural environment surrounding the home, while providing extra great-room seating.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the generous living room with a raised ceiling and dining space with gas fireplace. In addition to this open living area, the garage has been converted to another more casual and cozy living space that features well designed storage, a private home office area, wine fridge, craft area with countertop and sink and a new washer/dryer. The single level home has two guest bedrooms and two full baths (with radiant flooring). The two guest bedrooms are adorned with painted wainscotting, designer lighting and closets with built-in dressers. The primary suite is large with an oversized walk-in closet built out with a closet system, an ensuite modern bath with two sinks, marble counter, contemporary lighting and a two-way gas fireplace. The skylight overhead provides a private view of the redwood trees.
Enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails on the enclosed patio which feels like a serene retreat in a picture perfect canyon. The additional beauty of this property is that with the +/- 20k square foot lot and an entrance to the sun-filled property from the road above (Millard Road), there is an opportunity to add a second unit, vegetable garden, deck or multi-use space. There is room for an office, guest house or just a sweet platform from which to sit and watch the sun set over Mount Tam.
