A semi-circular driveway welcomes one to the naturally-lit foyer connecting to an intimate courtyard through handsome double glass-paneled French doors. To the right of the foyer is a powder room for guests and access to the front garage; to the left is the open beam formal living room anchored by a stunning fireplace with bookmatched natural marble that extends to the ceiling, and multiple French doors with plantation shutters to the covered corridor. The hallway leading to the rest of the home is accompanied by the 2 charming courtyards. The grand-sized family room, showcasing 12' high ceilings and large sliding glass doors to the backyard patio area and pool, is simply breathtaking. To the left of the family room are the private quarters with 2 bedrooms and a large hall bath. One of the bedroom, big enough for 2 queen-sized beds, overlooks the Zen courtyard while the other bedroom/home gym presents direct access to the pool. Off the family room is the 3rd bedroom suite w/its own 3/4 bath. 2 steps up from the family room, one is mesmerized by the impressive 2-story-high floor-to-ceiling window wall and the beautifully designed geometrically-shaped staircase that sits directly in front of the formal dining space. This formal dining area has amazing views and access to the pool, outdoor patio, and full-sized lighted tennis court. The awe-inspiring kitchen features an impressively large quartz waterfall center island, Cucine Lube Italian cabinets, Wolf appliances, a 15' ceiling, and a large glass-paneled garden window that naturally lights up the entire area. The casual dining space adjoining the kitchen showcases a European stone-crafted fireplace and 2 sets of large sliding glass doors that open to the outdoors. The upper-level sleeping quarters feature a junior suite and has a good-sized walk-in closet, and a luxurious primary suite with a balcony overlooking the motor court, and a bath custom-built with a jacuzzi tub and marble-clad walls. The spectacular gated backyard is perfect for entertaining any size gatherings with its multiple zones for activities. Other highlights include deep-crown molding in the upper-level open area, 2 AC units, a spacious laundry room, wine storage, recessed lighting, newer white oak hardwood flooring throughout, and 2 separate 2-car garages. This move-in-ready estate is truly a rare San Marino jewel.
