About this home

This spectacular estate showcases exquisite architecture, curated landscape, and fine craftsmanship. A perfect blend of casual elegance.
Located in one of Monte Sereno’s most cherished residential enclaves, this remarkable French Country estate rests upon more than 30,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated grounds. A decorative brick border and iron gates accent the surrounding gardens. The residence was meticulously reimagined during a 2020–2021 renovation, preserving its architectural character while elevating every system, finish, and living space.
From the moment of arrival, the property reveals its character through harmonious symmetry. A centered iron gate is flanked by a custom brick wall and boxwood hedges. A sweeping lawn, mature trees, and curated plantings settle naturally into the landscape. The storybook exterior is crowned by a composite shake roof inspired by classic French provincial design.
Inside, the grand foyer unfolds with generous proportions, ten-foot ceilings, and detailed millwork. A sweeping staircase rises to the upper level with painted balustrades and rich wood handrails. Light filters through carefully placed windows and architectural curves, including the home’s distinctive turret with a custom bench that creates both visual drama and an inviting reading nook.
The elegant dining room features a built-in sideboard with illuminated shelving and storage cabinetry. A crystal chandelier reflects softly while walnut framed glass doors open to a temperature controlled wine closet.
Throughout the residence, wide plank oak floors extend beneath custom moldings and solid wood doors. Coffered ceilings, furniture quality cabinetry, and custom casework reflect craftsmanship rooted in precision and permanence.
Living spaces unfold naturally, balancing openness with intimacy. At the heart of the home, the kitchen serves as both a functional centerpiece and gathering place. Anchored by a LaCanche range and professional grade appliances, the space features honed quartzite counters, mosaic stone backsplash, and a large island with seating for eight. A walk in pantry, integrated refrigeration, and concealed storage enhance both beauty and practicality.
The spacious great room spans the right side of the main level, allowing conversation and daily life to flow comfortably between spaces.
Spanning more than 4,600 square feet, the home offers five en suite bedrooms and an executive office across two levels. Two en suite bedrooms on the main level, including a junior ADU with kitchenette, provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
The executive office overlooks the front grounds and includes custom cabinetry with leaded glass doors and generous storage.
The primary suite offers a private retreat with garden views, a fireplace sitting area, and French doors opening to a balcony. The spa inspired bath features radiant heated marble floors, a freestanding soaking tub, and curated marble finishes.
A separate pool house functions as an independent residence with two en suite bedrooms, full kitchen, living area, radiant heated floors, and a private sauna.
The grounds are expansive yet intimate with lawns, mature trees, and brick or gravel paths. Raised garden beds with irrigation support year round planting.
At the rear, a brick patio surrounds the pool and spa. A covered loggia includes an outdoor kitchen and dining area with heaters, ceiling fans, automatic shades, and a misting system designed for comfortable outdoor living.
Every element of the grounds has been thoughtfully arranged to support both everyday living and effortless entertaining. From quiet mornings overlooking the gardens to evenings gathered beside the pool, the setting offers privacy, beauty, and connection to the surrounding landscape while maintaining the timeless character that defines this exceptional Monte Sereno estate. The balance of architecture, landscape, and craftsmanship creates a home refined and welcoming.
