Paradise Found! Be at one with nature in this magical, gated estate sited on a breath-taking 32K square foot lot in a rustic, pastoral setting where the views enchant, soft breezes waft, and the sounds of the canyon abound, and just minutes from the Westside or the SF Valley. This rustic, woodsy retreat is perfect for those who long for a home that conjures inspiration. These are just some of the reasons this estate is a great fit for artists, musicians, or performers, but this beautiful view lot is also ideal for builders & flippers. This is what drew the seller to her haven some 50 years ago. Enter through French doors into the large wood and glass foyer/sunroom. With its raised ceiling, clerestory windows and distressed, wood floors it flows seamlessly into the living room of rangy scale which leads conveniently to the updated country kitchen featuring stone counters, updated appliances, and impressive workspace. This open plan is ideal for all sorts of festive gatherings and quiet moments. The primary and secondary bedrooms are on opposite wings of the public rooms offering privacy for all bedrooms. It also offers the option to create a home office, music studio or guest bedroom far from the primary sleeping quarters. The primary suite features a sitting room/den, fireplace, a full bathroom with soaking tub and a copiously spacious walk-in closet. The grounds are stellar and include a huge wrap around patio featuring a reflection/plunge pool with fountain, a hot tub, a free-standing storage room and a well-appointed workshop (with studio-conversion possibilities). Beyond the broad level building pad lies a lush, terraced slope, (affectionately referred to as "the jungle" by its owner) which gracefully descends down the hillside into the canyon and features numerous fruit and specimen trees (see description in "Reports"). And for the horticulturist, there's a large, fenced-in garden (which may possibly be modified into a greenhouse) all easily accessed by several descending staircases. This exquisite estate holds a very special place in the seller's heart, and she can't wait to discover who the next lucky owner will be.
