Presenting classic Georgian architecture – with perfectly symmetrical proportions, window shutters, and dormer windows – this masterfully built home presents traditional details combined with luxurious appointments. Built for the current owners with architecture by Pacific Peninsula Architecture and design by Rory Cleworth, every finish is perfectly selected for sophisticated elegance. The millwork and moldings are exceptionally detailed and a focal point of the public rooms, along with hardwood floors with lavish inlays. Tremendous office space is ideal for today’s needs, the all-white kitchen is beautifully updated, and a wonderful flow from one room to the next invites entertaining on a grand scale. There are 4 bedrooms in the main residence and 2 bedrooms in the large, well-appointed guest house with full kitchen. The lower level offers wonderful space for fitness and media needs and there is garage parking for 4 cars. The gated grounds of more than one acre are equally impressive and perfectly suited to the architecture with vast stretches of lawn, perimeter redwoods, plus a pool and separate spa.
