This modernist retreat, rebuilt from the studs in 2019, is set on a private lane just a mile from top-rated Sleepy Hollow School. It offers architectural distinction and a seamless connection to nature, with views of Briones and the hillsides beyond. Mature trees surround manicured gardens and a grassy play area. The open-concept kitchen (with elite appliances) and dining room sit under elevated ceilings. A waterfall island, nearly 80 sq ft, provides bar seating for 5, and the adjacent dining room seats 10–12. A glass wine cellar showcases 180 bottles. Sliders open directly to the deck, where gas heaters ensure year-round comfort. The living room offers a sleek fireplace and oversized windows. The office near the entry hall makes work from home easy. (The room could be reconfigured as a nursery or 5th bedroom.) The principal suite offers 2 private decks and a bathroom featuring Porcelanosa tile, marble floors, dual vanities, an oversized shower and panoramic outlooks. The closet accommodates any wardrobe. Two more bedroom/bathrooms are upstairs. Between them lies the movie studio, certain to be the gathering place for entertainment of family and guests. The 4th bedroom suite, downstairs, is accessed by a private entrance and is ideal for an au pair, in-laws, or guests.
