Description

A long private drive sets the stage for this Walter Durham gem, situated on almost 3.4 acres in Penn Valley. This elegant French country home is made for entertaining with welcoming living spaces and effortless indoor outdoor flow. Enter through the checkerboard marble foyer into the living room, flanked by floor to ceiling windows and centered by the wood-burning fireplace. Off the living room is a private study with French doors leading to one of many patios. Continue down the hall to the 30' x 17' great room with its lofted ceilings, three walls of windows and a show-stopping oversized hearth. To the left of the foyer you'll find the formal dining room, butler's pantry and kitchen. The kitchen boasts a long granite prep island, stainless steel appliances and pot rack, and countertops galore. The kitchen and adjacent octagonal breakfast room are flooded with light from all sides. Rounding out this very functional zone are a walk-in pantry, laundry, backstairs, a full bath and mudroom which leads to the garages, barn and rear parking area. Take the main stairs (or the hidden curving stairs from the great room) up to the primary suite where you'll find a spacious bedroom with fireplace, a pair of walk-in closets and a generous full bath. Access to a private breakfast balcony completes this suite. There are 4 additional family bedrooms and 3 full baths on this level. And yes there is more - the current owners have added space and function with a lower-level screening room, guest suite with full bath, workout area and ample storage. The special magic of this house is that it invites you outside at every turn with walls of windows and views. Take in the outdoors from the brick patio running along the back of the house, the hot tub off the great room, or down by the pool with its arching fountains. Private, elegant, and warm, this is a very special place to call home.
