A European estate in the heart of The Peninsula set on a premier 0.53-acre corner lot. This 5,906 sq ft French Provincial masterpiece blends timeless European architecture with modern living. The full stone and brick construction, architectural turrets with copper roofing, custom Clark Hall French doors, and three-car garage with cedar doors give the home a presence that feels both rare and enduring. Every space has been thoughtfully curated, meticulously maintained, and updated.
Step inside to a grand spiral staircase crowned by a stunning imported bisque floral chandelier. The two-story foyer opens to a soaring great room filled with natural light anchored by rich architectural detail, and floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The formal dining room features inlay hardwood flooring and a tray ceiling, offering an elegant setting for gatherings.
The chef’s kitchen at the center of this open floorpan home is a showpiece of quality and design, centered around an oversized island wrapped in Walker Zanger Taj Mahal quartzite. A full-height backsplash, Brizo pot filler, a full suite of top-tier Wolf appliances, and ample counter space make everyday cooking and large-scale entertaining effortless. Spacious walk-in pantry with custom shelving completes the space, and a charming wet bar with hand-painted tile and beverage refrigerator elevates the flow for hosting.
The main-level primary suite provides a serene retreat with a spa-like bathroom, freestanding tub, separate dual vanities, and custom closets. Convenience continues with an oversized laundry room complete with laundry chute and a secondary back staircase finished with a premium Stanton runner.
Upstairs, a spacious billiards/bonus room with painted wood beams and a full bar becomes an instant gathering space. The billiards table conveys, making the room completely ready for use on day one. Located on the second floor are three additional bedrooms all complete with spacious walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests. Finally the flex room which could be used as a playroom, personal gym, sitting nook, or library.
Outside, the private, fenced backyard offers a peaceful escape with mature landscaping, screened-in porch with etched nautical symbol on the floor, a stone patio plumbed for a built-in grill, and a large stone fire pit with seating for many—an ideal setting for year-round outdoor living.
The spacious garage with epoxy floor has keyless entry in two locations, Atom Power 11.5kw EV charger, custom shelving with a workbench, sink/faucet, wall organization, and an additional storage area with built-in cabinets to make seasonal storage easy.
From major systems to complete interior updates, every inch of this home is ready to be enjoyed immediately giving the next owner all the charm of a European estate with none of the upkeep headaches.
