The magnificent residence sits on approximately 1.27 acres and represents one of the premier estates in Monte Sereno. Private electronic entry gates open to a long lane of interlocking pavers bordered by flowers and lawn; the driveway continues to an out-of-view, attached, 5-car garage. Broad steps of honed stone lead to the oversized, hand-crafted, iron door. This residence was expertly designed and built with flawless attention to detail.
