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.

Invisible from the road, the home is nestled among majestic oaks and reached by a gated private drive. Enter the home under a sloping beamed ceiling.

The open-concept interior is characteristic of the architectural style, as the kitchen (under skylights) leads gently down brick steps to the family room. The kitchen is impeccably appointed, with elite appliances, exquisite marble counters, and a matching island over 80 sq ft. Oversized windows draw in cheery morning sun, over the infinity swimming pool, spa, deck, and play area. A spacious office and library/den are found down a brick hallway. Four bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms lie further down. The roughly 350 sq ft principal bedroom is particularly distinctive. A fifth bedroom – perfect as a guest room/in-law suite – is situated at the other end of the home. Parking is easy in the 3-car garage and parking court. This home is an exceptional retreat – minutes to town, yet secluded – just as its architect intended.
