Beautiful custom home with peaceful, private setting on nearly one acre level lot

- By Monica Lander CORRESPOND­ENT

A masterfull­y designed custom home sits prominentl­y on an almost 1-acre level lot in the Almaden Valley’s coveted Graystone neighborho­od.

The open and light-filled living spaces with oversized windows connect seamlessly with amazing outdoor venues. Dine or entertain on the spacious deck; take two steps down to the expansive patio that wraps around the sparkling pool and spa. Lounge under the shade of the pergola and view the rest of the completely fenced yard that stretches out with enough room to customize with tennis court, orchard, vineyard, horses, or extended gardens. Wide side yards are ideal to create secret garden retreats, sports court, kennel or more.

Views of the surroundin­g mountains including the majestic Mount Umunhum create a peaceful and country ambiance to this home located at 18530 Annie Lane. The approximat­ely 4,089 square feet of living space on .88 acres includes four bedrooms and three full and one-half bathrooms, upper-level master bedroom suite, and bonus room.

The beautifull­y designed front landscape with deep setback, dry creek bed, flowering perennials and Japanese maple trees create an inviting curb appeal. The double door entry opens onto a spacious foyer with vaulted ceiling, tile floor and wall of window framing the lush backyard.

To the left are the elegant formal living and dining rooms warmed by a brick fireplace and well illuminate­d in natural light with views of the front gardens.

The well-designed eat-in kitchen features hardwood flooring, maple cabinetry with decorative glass doors, large island, updated quartz counters with decorative herringbon­e patterned tile backsplash, stainless farm sink, window seat with a view of the backyard, and built-in workstatio­n. Updated stainless appliances include dual Dacor ovens, KitchenAid five-burner cooktop, and Miele dishwasher. A sliding glass door from the casual dining area opens onto the backyard deck.

A stone fireplace anchors the adjacent family room where there are built-in cabinetry, a vaulted planked ceiling, and walk-around wet bar with quartz counter, sink, and stylish subway tile backsplash.

The opposite wing of the home includes two bedrooms with large closets facing the front gardens, full bathroom with stylish glass tile wall and backsplash, updated fixtures, and shower/bathtub combinatio­n, and an additional bedroom with en suite bathroom and oversized walk-in closet.

The wide hallway is bathed in natural light and has a convenient sliding glass door access to the deck and pool.

At the end of this wing is a more than 670-square-foot bonus/game room with a corner fireplace, built-in floating credenza, mounted flat screen television, and wet bar with granite counter, tumbled stone backsplash, stainless sink, and wine refrigerat­or. With plenty of room for a pool table, this room will be the favorite place to hang out with friends and family. The oversized sliding glass door provides easy access to the deck and pool as well.

The private master bedroom suite is upstairs through a double door entry. The generous sized, more than 300-square-foot bedroom features elegant crown molding, gorgeous views of the surroundin­g mountains and plush carpeting. The walkthroug­h closet is very spacious and has access from the bedroom and bathroom where there is a ceramic tile floor, soaking tub, walk-in shower with multiple shower heads including rain head, decorative glass tile accents, and a dual sink vanity with tumbled stone backsplash.

Additional features include a three-car garage with adjoining workshop that would make an ideal fifth bedroom, art studio or wine tasting room, two oversized laundry rooms, fresh interior paint, and new fencing.

The idyllic location is close to the popular Los Alamitos Creek Trail, Quicksilve­r Park and top-rated schools including Graystone Elementary, Bret Harte Middle and Leland High School.
