            Centrally located, the estate enjoys a private and rural ambiance yet is within easy access to the charming downtown shopping district and the award winning wineries that sprawl across the Livermore Valley.

            Meticulously maintained and updated, the home features four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, spacious formal living and dining rooms, a butler’s pantry, beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen, casual dining, and an expansive family room. There are coffered ceilings, travertine tile floors, plantation shutters, skylights, and multiple French doors with transom windows.

            Elegant formal rooms flank the welcoming foyer and offer spacious venues for entertaining. Each has plush carpeting and a pair of arched, front-facing windows.

            The stylish chef’s kitchen is filled with natural light from an oversized skylight and large garden window. Granite counters and backsplash wrap around the painted custom cabinetry that includes built-in wine storage. An island and peninsula breakfast bar offer additional prep space. Enjoy the ease of preparing meals on updated appliances including a SubZero paneled refrigerator. There is also a walk-in pantry, and a butler’s pantry with a convenient warming drawer.

            The casual dining area has a French door access to the backyard loggia and gardens. The adjacent family room is a large room anchored by a gas fireplace and view windows. A box beam ceiling with a trio of skylights, built-in cabinetry, and French door access to the loggia create an inviting and comfortable gathering space.
