When entering this 3 bedroom/4 bath corner home one is reminded of a sophisticated city townhouse or even a London Brownstone in Chelsea, but instead of a small community garden nearby, one can enjoy miles of private and public gardens, a resort style pool, pathways surrounded by boundless nature, historic fountains and private mansions interspersed within this backyard haven..The entry hall welcomes you into the elegant yet casual ambience. The dining room to your leftfeatures Palladian style windows which view the exterior lush greenery. The light streamsthrough this space just as it does through the entire home. The kitchen, with ample cabinetry and Caesar stone counters, features Subzero and Wolf appliances and opens to the entertainment area graced with a stone fireplace and French doors opening out to a private patio surrounded by lushgreenery. This enclosed space is ideal for dining alfresco or enjoying morning coffee.Continue to the 2nd floor either by the interior elevator, which is accessible from the private 4-car garage or by the contemporary open switchback stairwell which leads to a window at the end of a hallway from which both the primary and guest ensuite bedrooms are entered. Treetop views from the primary bedroom windows allow one the especially desired privacy so relished in the bedroom.The top floor leads to a bedroom/office with a 10 ft high ceiling and floor to ceiling windows on one side and bifold windows on the other opening to a corner terrace which features a built-in fireplace and unobstructed views of the mountains, treetops and dramatic rooftop of the historicMerritt Mansion.
