Back By Popular Demand: House Porn on Shadywood Lane
This house is so gorgeous I had to Twitter pics while touring. The owners are from the Bay area and clean California influence is everywhere, from the uncluttered interiors to the outdoor living-friendly patio with Adirondack rocks around the salt water pool — a model pool for Harold Leidner’s ads. The approximately 7912 square foot home is on one of Bluffview’s most desired streets, and while built in 1952, the home is effectively new from the ground up, with two major remodels in 2000 and 2007. I can think of no better home for a party: walking paths take you from the pool to the rock spa and back to a hidden fire pit. Two bedrooms down including the master, which has a gorgeous bathroom, walk-in shower, and spacious master his and her closet. Detail to steal: marble surfaced island in master closet perfect for packing with full storage beneath. Three bedrooms with baths up plus a game room and snack bar. The outside covered kitchen and fireplace/patio is glorious, but I think my favorite part of this home is the hardwood floors — hand scraped in the kitchen and family room, smooth walnut in the formal areas, the various surfaces imparting a lived-in, old home feel to a home that is very much a spring chicken. Price Tag: $3,550,000 — not bad, actually, for Bluffview.
