Villa Fontenay is one of those well-kept secrets, worth knowing about. Marketed in the 1900s as a first class Summer and Winter resort, over the years it has evolved into a very special, gated and private enclave of 14 estate homes located on the upper edge of Scotts Valley, with tennis courts, trails and 53-acres of common space for homeowners to enjoy. Just 15 minutes to Los Gatos or the beach, puts you close to work and even closer to your heart, on the Santa Cruz side of the hill. Rural but refined, private yet close-in, this spacious 4232 sq ft home with 4+-bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths and a detached 4-car garage with bonus room above it, is an unexpected find. The home is set nicely back from the street on a usable 2.8 acre parcel. Two separate family rooms, a second master suite or rec room, formal and informal dining, pool, spa, wraparound decks and generous lawn and garden spaces offer a wealth of choices for indoor/outdoor living. Generously-sized rooms, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, warm wood details and abundant view-catching windows throughout. Home is where the heart is, whether it is family and friends gathered for alfresco dining under the stars, or those quiet moments spent wandering through the gardens or sitting on the bench enjoying ridge-line views, blues skies and the peace and quiet all around you.
