1139 Navalle Ct, Pleasanton, CA 94566

Don't roll the dice-- guarantee that you play a triumphant hand with this gorgeous Pleasanton hills two-story that seamlessly merges the luxury of a Boardwalk hotel with the natural beauty and tranquility of a mountain resort. High in the hilltops, looking down upon world-famed Tri-Valley Wine Country, with the whisper of redwoods and the panorama of the soft grasses of the adjacent open space that goes on for miles, this home's setting trumps any location on the board. This lovely residence's completely remodeled 2,434 square foot interior, which includes a granite chef's kitchen, formal living room with marble fireplace, spa-like master bathroom with Jacuzzi, and four sunny bedrooms, will make you the undisputed winner of life's game of Monopoly. With everything in such close proximity, you won't even need to pass Go when you walk to this prestigious neighborhood's many amenities. Beautiful Vintage Hills Park is only a block away, and Vintage Hills Elementary School, part of the nationally acclaimed Pleasanton school district, is within easy walking distance. Historic downtown, with its tempting restaurants and specialty shops, is only minutes away and wine country beckons with dozens of vineyards offering tantalizing tastings and manicured picnic grounds. A nearby community pool provides a place for neighborhood residents to cool off and gather together under the shade of the poolside cabana or perhaps discuss the contents of the Community Chest. And when it's time to dry off and go to work, commuters will be delighted by the easy access to highways and public transit, including BART and rail, though B. & O. Railroad might still be a little far away to utilize on a daily basis. Sequestered at the very end of this quiet cul de sac, this home is consummately private, its arched windows peering delicately over the wide driveway and green front lawn. The towering redwoods, open blue sky, and the hush in the air all belie how convenient this location is to all the comforts of civilization, feeling more like a far-away retreat than a suburban East Bay community. The entranceway sets the tone, immediately rewarding all the senses with soft light from the second story arched window and fanned cut glass inserts on the double front doors, coupled with the refreshing feel of cool twelve-inch tile floors on bare feet. The vaulted wood beamed ceiling and glass chandelier draw one's gaze upwards, past the glossy oak banister of the carpeted staircase which ascends to the solace of the four bedrooms. The formal living room and dining room compete for guests' attention, luring them with the glow of warm firelight from the sumptuous yet understated marble wood-burning fireplace and hearth which is built into a surrounding cream-colored wooden mantelpiece with classical lines. Making an equal impression are the giant picture windows, two in the living room and one in the dining room, the front-facing one topped by an arched window which extends nearly to the soaring vaulted ceilings. Plush carpets pamper toes here and in all four bedrooms, while the home's other standard features shine through, including custom draperies and blinds, three-inch baseboards, and energy-efficient dual pane windows which will be the disappointment of the Electric Company. The dining room is genteel enough that you might occasionally be tempted to break out your top hat for dinnertime. Seating eight with room for a hutch, it boasts a lovely chandelier and easy access to the kitchen through a pocket door. Meal preparation is a joy with the lovingly remodeled gourmet eat-in kitchen flecked with sunlight reflected by the granite surfaces and exquisite Brazilian hardwood floors. A large granite-topped island packed with cabinets and drawers with room to pull up four barstools is the centerpiece, surrounded by slab granite countertops with a designer tile backsplash with accent strip and highlighted by recessed can lighting.
