The home is a stunning example of Art Nouveau architecture which mimics the fluid shapes and flow of nature and translates nicely to today’s modern style. Lovingly called La Chaumière, which means “The Cottage” in French. Built from the ground up by one of the most sought-after builders in the Bay Area, the design exudes masterful craftsmanship, keen attention to detail, and custom finishes in every facet both inside and out. The elegant entry features soaring ceilings, a custom chandelier that is truly a piece of art, and a jewel-box powder room with silk-papered walls and a Kota vanity. It opens to both the formal living and dining rooms as well as the lovely backyard. The culinary kitchen was designed for the discerning chef with top-of-the line, built-in appliances, huge granite island with breakfast bar, and both walk-in and butler’s pantries. The open floor plan features a breakfast nook and a large family room with a cozy fireplace, built-in seating, and storage. They open to both the front and back landscaped areas. Multiple walls of glass and French doors fill the home with abundant natural light. Nearly all rooms open to the outdoor venues – perfect for that quintessential indoor/outdoor California lifestyle. The formal living room, with its hand-carved limestone archway and fireplace, custom-built-in bookcases, and cantilevered glass shelving, could not be more inviting! The stately dining room has a gorgeous glass table with seating for eight, a lighted mahogany buffet, and artisan sconces. The main floor ensuite is perfect for extended family or visiting guests and opens to the front yard. The enormous primary suite has built-in cabinetry, waterfall fireplace, huge walk-in closet, two additional closets, and luxurious spa-like bath. Dual balconies provide mesmerizing views of the awe-inspiring grounds, foothills beyond, and magical sunsets. Two additional upper-floor ensuites are well-sized, have plenty of closet space, and lovely views as well. The lower level offers an additional 2,200 square feet and features an entertainment area, additional bedroom and full bath, as well as a library, safe room, in-home office, and tons of extra storage. This one-of-a-kind gated property features park-like grounds and unparalleled 360° views from all vantage points.
