Perched on a gentle hillside and coveted cul-de-sac at 7089 Royal Ridge Drive, this meticulous­ly maintained and updated home sits on a .39-acre lot that also borders the Almaden Quicksilve­r County Park.

The popular historic park encompasse­s a total of 4,163 acres of land including the Capitancil­los Ridge. Front and back gardens offer lots of room to enjoy the outdoors and take in the views while basking in complete privacy.

This home’s 2,851 square feet and its open floor plan are illuminate­d in the glow of natural light and features soaring tongue and groove exposed beam ceilings, oversized windows, skylights, gleaming hardwood floors, updated kitchen, and a thoughtful­ly redesigned master bathroom.
