Property Description
Sleepy Hollow Summit - This is the one! Location, location, location - this exceptional property at the end of a cul de sac offers a perfect "10" setting with breathtaking views . Finding a setting like this with a "New" home is next to impossible to find. The original home was mostly taken down to the foundation and completely reimagined and rebuilt by local builder MF3 Construction. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable - featuring a new paver driveway, inviting entry, and a stunning 250+ year-old oak tree framing the home. Step into your new home with wide plank oak floors throughout. Open concept great room features vaulted ceilings. The living area offers a warm and inviting space centered around a linear gas fireplace, while the dining area is perfectly positioned to capture sweeping Sleepy Hollow Valley views. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring Miele Marble countertops and backsplash, premium Dacor appliances including a 48" range and 42" refrigerator, white oak island cabinetry, and designer pendant lighting. A spacious walk-in pantry serves as a seamless extension of the kitchen, complete with abundant cabinetry and a prep sink. Just off the great room is a separate family/media room enclosed by double pocket doors. A thoughtfully designed mudroom is conveniently located off the garage and driveway entry. The primary suite was designed as a true retreat. Vaulted ceilings elevate the sleeping quarters, while expansive valley views and direct access to a private paver patio create a serene setting. The generous walk-in closet offers ample space and functionality. The spa-inspired primary bathroom features marble flooring, a freestanding soaking tub with Roman filler framed by picture windows, a glass-enclosed shower with bench seating, dual vanities, and a full-height linen cabinet. Last - and certainly not least - is the property itself. The rear paver patio is designed for entertaining and taking in the unparalleled views. Watch the morning fog roll over the hills. The grounds feature all-new landscaping, paver patios, porches, and walkways, along with a beautiful lower entertaining area centered around a magnificent oak tree. The setting evokes the feeling of Carmel Valley. As you make your way down the expansive property, you'll find an additional level with planting beds and an existing greenhouse.
