270 Kilkare Rd, Sunol, CA 94586
What's special
Beyond the private gate and across the creekside bridge lies a charming remodeled historic home nestled on more than five scenic acres in scenic canyon setting. This classic farmhouse was tastefully expanded in the 1990's and now features approximately 3,283 sq ft, with a 4 bedroom, 4 bath main residence plus bonus space & full bath in basement. Inside, the classic farmhouse inspired details—including hardwood floors, bay window, classic mill-work, and a marble-surround gas fireplace—meet thoughtful modern updates. The expanded and remodeled gourmet kitchen is at the heart of the home with marble countertops and a distinguished appliance suite including a French La Cornue range with double ovens, Miele steam oven and dishwasher, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator and a custom kitchen fireplace. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, honed-marble bath, and a private garden-view. While the home is extraordinary, it’s the park-like landscape that transforms this property into something unforgettable. Wandering stone pathways weave through towering mature trees and lush gardens lead to a garden gazebo, tranquil fountains, a pergola covered swim spa/hot tub, a relaxing stone surround fireside retreat and a playhouse overlooking the property with spectacular canyon views. Completing the estate a New England two stall barn with tack room and loft perfect for equestrians or a workshop, hobby space, man cave, vehicle housing or just great storage with over 600 sq. feet. Also, a separate cottage gym/flex space, playhouse, and attached two-car garage. A unique country property offering the privacy of over 5 acres, surrounded by over 15,000 acres of regional parkland. This enchanting retreat feels like it is a world away, yet is only minutes from i-680, downtown Pleasanton, and commute routes
