Rare and wonderful, this magnificent French Normandy Tudor was lovingly and meticulously restored by its current owner. Circa 1931 and set among mature redwoods and rhododendrons, this highly prized and coveted property offers elegant European design on a quiet, private lot. This gracious estate features a sweeping central staircase, formal living and dining rooms, spacious eat-in chef’s kitchen w/pantry, paneled study, two primary ensuites, 5 bedrooms up, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, finished attic, exercise/media room below, 2-car garage, Tesla Battery Wall, and a handy elevator that services all three floors. Arched windows, French doors, sun-lit rooms, hand-hewn wooden floors, and park-like grounds are a few of the custom highlights this remarkable home provides. Outside, a quiet courtyard, water fountain, stone patio, verdant lawn, charming gazebo, manicured grounds, climbing wisteria, blooming clematis, and trimmed boxwood are exceptional backdrops for this stunning one-of-a-kind home. Measured at more than 6,000 sq’ and on nearly 1/2 acre, this extraordinary story-book property is what dreams are made of.
