Welcome to your elevated escape! This fully reimagined Mt. Helix retreat offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 3,308 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. The open yet smartly divided layout blends flow and function, perfect for entertaining. Soaring wood-beam ceilings, expansive windows with treetop views, and modern fireplaces add warmth and style throughout. The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a ZLINE 6-burner range, Il Forno appliance package, natural Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, secret walk-in pantry, and customizable cabinet interiors. The adjacent family room includes a stone fireplace, redwood deck access, and backyard views for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the serene primary suite is a true sanctuary. The spa-like bath features a traditional showerhead, body sprayer, and a waterfall shower cascading from a skylight. A discreet niche keeps essentials tucked away for a clean, calming feel. Downstairs offers a flexible bonus room—ideal as a gym, playroom, or potential 5th bedroom—and a second ensuite perfect for guests. Outdoors, enjoy 0.44 acres of terraced land, with plenty of space for a potential ADU, redwood decking, and a freshly re-plastered pool with new energy-efficient equipment. Owned solar, a detached shed with utilities, and an enclosed dog kennel complete this exceptional property. INVESTORS, this property is offered furnished and presents an excellent opportunity as an investment or short-term rental.
