Property Description

Panoramic views and serenity set the tone for this exceptional estate in Talega's exclusive Alta neighborhood. The south-facing home sits at the apex of Talega, on a tranquil single-loaded cul-de-sac. From the main living areas, the view deck and the backyard you look out over the Pacific Ocean, with valley, hill and city-light views all the way to evening sunsets. The approximately 4,752 sqft home is laid out so both everyday living and entertaining are effortless. A rotunda foyer opens to a living room with fireplace and a formal dining room with a built-in buffet. French doors in the dining room open to a private courtyard. At the center of the home, the great room with fireplace flows into a gourmet kitchen.
