Few homes catch one’s eye like this. The chateau commands views past mature redwoods to SF Bay and The City. Enter through a marble reception hall, under elevated ceilings, into the grand living room. It leads onto a 70’x13’ deck with spectacular views. The dining room could host 30 guests or more. The kitchen offers a butler’s pantry, exceptional appliances, and a dining nook. Four separate offices provide exceptional work/study spaces. Two stairways rise from the entertainment floor to the 4 bedrooms above. The formal circular stairway, with marble flooring and an elegant railing, ascends from the entry hall. A modern hardwood staircase ascends from the kitchen. All bedrooms offer spacious closets, and 3 bedrooms command Bay views. The principal suite, equipped with a wood-burning fireplace, offers particularly grand views and a remodeled bathroom and immense walk-in closet. The laundry room is conveniently adjacent. Continue up another stairway to a professional-quality movie theater. The fun continues on the bottom floor of the home, which can be configured as a ballroom or a place for casual play. The home’s fifth bedroom and exercise room adjoin, and a sport court (now equipped for basketball) sits adjacent to the 3-car garage. This estate exemplifies Piedmont excellence.
