449 Crest Ave, Alamo, CA 94507

Exceptional gated vineyard property on more than an acre brings a Sonoma Valley lifestyle to the heart of Alamo, showcasing breathtaking panoramic east-facing Mt. Diablo views, a fabulous, sophisticated light-drenched open floorplan, and multiple outdoor gathering venues in a resort-inspired backyard. Beautifully designed by noted Orinda architect Steven Kubitschek and masterfully built in 2017 by David Newitt of Miramar Homebuilders, this 4439+ square-foot contemporary-style home blends effortlessly with the contour of the land that borders open space dotted with majestic oaks. The gentle slope from the street creates a picturesque front-yard vineyard featuring 175 four-year-old Pinot Noir grapevines. The mostly single-level living space includes gorgeous wide-plank wood floors, high ceilings, recessed lights, smooth-textured walls, Andersen dual-pane windows, and walls of windows including two 12-foot-long Nano doors that slide open for a seamless flow to inviting backyard venues, and sliding glass doors to a front-facing terrace that overlooks the vineyard. The open floorplan features a spacious living room anchored by a dramatic to-ceiling ledge-stone gas fireplace surround. The adjacent large dining area can easily accommodate seating for more than a dozen, and a formal dining area with a coffered ceiling and view windows could easily be used as a game room or an additional sitting area. A nearby dry bar offers a quartz counter, dual-zoned wine refrigerator, and floating shelves. Behind a pocket door is a front-facing executive office with custom built-ins, access to the terrace, custom-built built-ins, and automated shades.
