Exquisite Finishes Monte Sereno is an area known for spectacular estates, but on rare occasion a property comes to market, outshining even these exceptional homes. 15297 Karl Avenue is in a class of its own, with over 8,400 square feet in the main residence and a 700 square foot guest home. This French-styled estate represents the pinnacle of elegance, refinement and tranquility. As you pass through the custom front doors (carved to mirror the waves of the glass surrounding it) and step on to the limestone floors, the level of quality and refinement are visible in every detail. Wainscoting and intricate crown molding grace each area, creating a palatial and visually stunning setting for each room. The east end of the home offers a library with gas log fireplace, built-in shelving, and hardwood flooring. The laundry room with granite counters and a three-car garage are located just beyond the library.
Refined Elegance On the opposite end of the foyer, the space opens up in to the common areas, a formal dining room, living room and a powder room. The living room features a paneled glass wall providing a window to the stunning back garden and pool areas. A two-way fireplace and hardwood flooring bring warmth to this space, and the inlaid wood accents reflect the refined nature of the home. The formal dining room features the same refined details and connects to the kitchen by way of a butler’s pantry. A full walk-in pantry, wine refrigerator, and wet bar with granite counters create extra serving space for both the formal and informal dining areas. The well-lit informal dining space offers ample room for casual meals, with an extra breakfast bar showcasing the double ogee beveled granite counters. This chef’s dream kitchen is equipped with the highest-quality stainless steel Thermador, Fisher and Paykel, and SubZero appliances. A custom hand-made hood, multiple dishwashing drawers and trash compactor all shine with the exceptionally wellmaintained steel providing a dramatic contrast to the Verde Fuocco granite.
Stunning Amenities At the west end of the property, large patio areas off the family and living rooms provide space for outdoor eating or entertaining. A built in outdoor kitchen area with Fisher and Paykel barbecue provides convenient options for your guests enjoying the large infinity pool and garden areas. Your family and guests will delight in the outdoor granite fire pit, serene creek and pond, and exceptionally designed garden areas that surround the guest house. The rear of the guest house has been converted into a home garden, providing fruits and vegetables for the residents year round.
Master Suite The master suite offers a private retreat with space for a sitting area in front of the gas log fireplace, a large king bed and ceiling fan to maintain your comfort level. The expansive walkin closet with built-in dressers can accommodate the largest of wardrobes, and the master bathroom shines with marble flooring, Brown Emperador marble counters and a multi-head glass shower enclosure. The bath also features a Kohler jettedtub, bidet, and many built-in cabinet features. Each of the remaining four bedrooms offers the same level of quality and refinement found throughout the estate, with ensuite baths in the two lower level bedrooms. The ground floor bedrooms are arranged with a Jack-and-Jill bath configuration, hardwood flooring, and large closets.
Extra Features The lower level of the property has space for a home gym, yoga, or Pilates room, and after your workout you can relax in the marble-lined steam room or the walk-in sauna. A large game room expands your entertainment possibilities and can also be converted into a home theater. The room has been fitted for surround sound and the audio amplifiers are ready for use in the audio/visual control room. A glassenclosed wine cellar offers storage for hundreds of bottles of your favorite vintages, while offering an aesthetically pleasing addition to the home. The one bedroom, one bathroom guest house shares the same high quality appointments as the main home, with all high-end stainless steel appliances, ample common space, and refined finishes.
