Gorgeous Norris Canyon Estates home, one of Summerhills largest floor plans, sits high atop the hill in the gated community on about three quarters of an acre with breathtaking views of the surrounding ridgelines and hills in the San Ramon Valley. Built in 2012, the almost 4,300 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms includes numerous upgrades in addition to extra features and an attention to detail that took an already well-appointed home to grander heights. A resort-style backyard designed by Bob Luehrs of Helping Hand Landscape in Pleasanton was created to take full advantage of the view lot. The entertaining space includes an outdoor living room with stacked stone, floor to ceiling fireplace with raised hearth, paver patio, inviting pebble tec pool and spa built-in barbecue with granite counter, fire pit, multiple outdoor dining and lounging venues, lush lawns and garden beds all illuminated with outdoor lighting. Meanwhile offset railroad ties create a natural looking staircase that meanders up the gentle slope to a viewing deck under an arbor. The panoramic views from this height have to be seen to be appreciated but rest assured they sweep across the San Ramon Valley offering amazing sunrises and sunsets year round. More than 500 plants including trees were also been added in the landscape plan to ensure something is in bloom throughout the year. An expansive two-story foyer with view of the grand, extra wide staircase is also open to an elegant front room. Create a formal living room, library, or music room in this space that also features a wall of custom built-in cabinetry with desk, and two walls of windows that frame the views. The great room is centered on a beautifully designed gourmet kitchen with extra thick bullnose edged granite counters, mosaic tile backsplash and center island with breakfast bar illuminated by a trio of pendant light fixtures. Stainless Viking appliances include upgraded built-in refrigerator and microwave with cooktop, double ovens and dishwasher. An abundance of richly stained Precision soft-close cabinetry with pull out shelves provides lots of storage in the kitchen. There is also a walk-in pantry. A fireplace in the family room is flanked by a set of windows and built-in cabinets for TV equipment. Sliding glass doors open onto the outdoor patios. The adjacent dining room features a wine barrel chandelier large picture window with view of hillside, and French doors that open onto the outdoor patio. A nearby butler’s pantry also has a granite counter and decorative mosaic tile backsplash. A custom designed wine cellar features a wine barrel wood floor, arched window with a custom barrel wood edge and is temperature controlled for its 800-bottle stored on custom racks. Hardwood floors continue on the upstairs landing where there is additional built-in storage cabinetry. A row of clerestory windows welcomes natural light in on the landing and frames the views of the distant hillsides. The master bedroom retreat occupies one wing of the upstairs space. A double door entry opens onto a spacious bedroom with tray ceiling and adjoining sitting room area ideal for cozy couch and overstuff chairs. French doors open onto a private balcony overlooking the pool and hillside. The master bath is luxuriously appointed with a porcelain tile floor, travertine counters, his and her vanities separated by a large soaking tub, and oversized glass enclosed shower. Plantation shutters are split to close for privacy while retaining the hillside views. An oversized walk-in closet has adjoining dressing area. Three additional bedrooms include two that share a Jack and Jill bathroom with dual sink vanity and tub/shower combination, and a third bedroom with full en suite bathroom including stall shower. The fifth bedroom suite with walk-in closet and full en suite bathroom is on the main level with nearby access to the backyard and covered patio.
