About this property
Nestled amidst over 2 acres of meticulously tended gardens, 2275 Summit Drive stands as a beacon of refined elegance and timeless charm. With roots dating back to 1914, this distinguished shingled Craftsman residence harmoniously marries original architectural integrity with contemporary luxury, promising a living experience unlike any other.
Enter through the stately Palladian door into a grand foyer adorned with a Memmoli chandelier, customized to highlight the rich, old-growth redwood paneling: a prelude to the opulence that awaits within. The living room, resplendent with a cathedral ceiling adorned with rustic beams, invites moments of repose by a crackling wood-burning fireplace, while sun-drenched true divided light windows infuse the space with natural light, framing views of the verdant surroundings. Adjacent, the dining room exudes an air of refined sophistication, its walls cloaked in the warmth of old-growth redwood paneling, offering a gracious setting for intimate gatherings or grand soirees.
The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a culinary oasis, where custom-colored cabinetry harmonizes with butcher block countertops and polished tile floors. A vintage O’Keefe & Merritt gas range takes center stage, a testament to the home's storied past, while an adjoining family room beckons with a Carrara marble fireplace, providing a cozy retreat for leisurely moments with loved ones.
Ascend the staircase to discover personal sanctuaries meticulously appointed to cater to every need. The primary suite, a private retreat to rejuvenate, boasts a sky-lit sitting room, Carrara marble fireplace, and custom de Gournay hand-painted wallpaper. Additional bedrooms, thoughtfully dispersed across the main residence and separate wings, ensure ample space for family and guests, each exuding its own unique charm.
Step beyond the threshold into the enchanting gardens, where over 100 species of flora dance in the gentle breeze, their vibrant hues a symphony of nature's artistry. Meandering pathways of crushed stone lead to secluded alcoves, perfect for moments of quiet contemplation, while a shimmering pool and spa offer respite from the summer sun. A fenced vegetable garden and sprawling lawns provide ample space for outdoor recreation and al fresco dining, under the shade of ancient heritage trees.
Completing this idyllic retreat are a charming 1-bedroom / 1-bathroom cottage and a beautifully updated gatehouse featuring 1-bedroom / 1-bathroom on the lower level & 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom on the upper level -- both structures offering luxurious accommodations for guests or staff. A three-car garage, wine cellar, and ample off-street parking ensure both convenience and functionality.
