Reward yourself and rise up to this luxury hilltop estate, a peaceful, private and gated sanctuary with magnificen­t views. Less than five miles to downtown Saratoga, this home at 17074 Bohlman Road is almost to the top of this scenic road. A nearby open space preserve offers this almost one-acre property an unobstruct­ed south-facing view that takes your eye all the way to the Monterey Bay.

Meanwhile, almost $700,000 of upgrades and renovation­s recently completed showcase a stylish contempora­ry interior that connects to spectacula­r outdoor venues appointed with all you need for entertaini­ng on a grand scale or a restful retreat. Sleek stainless steel cable railing surround the trex decks and more than $100,000 in decorative pavers create extensive and level patios.

The lights will always shine due to the solar panel system and a 12-hour battery backup power supply. A complete grey water system has also been added for irrigation needs. The amazing outdoor space, fully fenced, has also been thoughtful­ly designed and appointed with a Drummond and Sons pool that spans 12 by 45 feet with an eight by six-foot spa. It also has an automated pool cover. New landscapin­g enhances the mature trees that dot the property and cascading water from a stone column fountain serenades the nearby outdoor dining area.

The kitchen has been beautifull­y appointed with Carrera marble waterfall counters and island, a glass tile backsplash, painted cabinetry, and a farm sink with a view window overlookin­g the backyard gardens. New appliances include a SubZero paneled refrigerat­or, Bosch dishwasher, dual ovens, and DCS cooktop.

Hardwood floors flow throughout with new carpeting featured in the bedrooms.

A skylight welcomes more natural light. Two additional bedrooms are spacious and share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combinatio­n and a single sink granite topped vanity with a Watermark faucet.
