About the Property
Set on a quiet lane among other homes of distinction, this shingle-clad residence marries Craftsman warmth with Cape Cod restraint. Behind an electronic gate, a drive winds past mature oaks to a portico and a copper front door, the first hint of the material that recurs throughout the home.

Set on a quiet lane among other homes of distinction, this shingle-clad residence marries Craftsman warmth with Cape Cod restraint. Behind an electronic gate, a drive winds past mature oaks to a portico and a copper front door, the first hint of the material that recurs throughout the home.
The entertainment rooms open directly off the entry: a dining room to the right that seats ten with ease beneath a striking chandelier, and a generous living room to the left beneath another. Beyond them, family life gathers around an immense wood-burning fireplace framed in stone and crowned by a copper mantel and chimney, with a built-in media cabinet ready for whatever the evening calls for.
The kitchen is the heart of the house and has been outfitted accordingly, with Wolf, Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances, expansive quartz counters and island, a marble-tile backsplash, custom sliding cabinetry, and a hood sheathed in sculptural stone. The breakfast nook, with built-in bench seating, is the venue for informal meals alongside.
Outdoors, a long loggia accommodates a guest list of nearly any size, overlooking newly replanted gardens and established orange, maple, magnolia and strawberry trees, while water features carry streams over rock to the terraces below. For those with children, there is a playhouse and an installed swing and slide set.
The primary suite occupies the main level and looks out over the rear gardens, with an adjoining sitting room, a walk-in closet fitted with custom shelving and drawers, and a bathroom appointed with an oversized shower and soaking tub. A wide staircase, its copper railing echoing the front door, rises to four additional bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, private decks, and a library and sitting area. Should five bedrooms prove insufficient, an ADU above the garage offers a bedroom, full bathroom and kitchenette, ideal for guests or for intergenerational living.
The garage entry leads into a well-equipped mudroom and laundry with custom cubbies, LG appliances and a built-in ironing board. The home was remodeled six years ago; a high-performance two-zone HVAC system followed three years later, along with new shades and Toto washlets throughout. Parking is easy, with a four-car garage and a separate parking court.
Springhill Elementary and Acalanes High are moments away.
