You've memorized the delicate pitches, breaks and rolls on that Tom Fazio designed green - the 4th - just steps away. You've studied it while settling into a coffee beside the outdoor fireplace on the upstairs deck. You've observed it from the firepit, outdoor dining room, and hot tub on the back patio, all enjoying a gallery view of the green and 5th fairway that's rivaled by few others. When winter arrives and the southern sun spills into this 6,421 square-foot Martis Camp home's living space, those fairway undulations transform nicely into sledding hills. Such are the lures one may consider should the concept of gazing at the bright, Tahoe lodge-like grandeur of this home ever grow old. There's a billiards loft, four fireplaces, and a terrace of vivid stone that wraps three-quarters of the way around the home and features heated/covered outdoor dining and stone benches encircling a large firepit that's ideal for storytelling. Inside, the kitchen with the long, bending counter commands views of the dining room with a wall of windows, and the great room with its wide, stone fireplace. Winter sun pours into this picture nearly all day long. There's a wet bar in the hallway across from the media room with its own granite fireplace, large screen tv, and access to the patio and hot tub. Nearby is a bedroom with its own terrace and the primary suite with its alluring bathtub and fireplace. Dominating the upstairs is an open four-sided walkway that gazes down to the great room, as well as billiards, seating areas, deck with fireplace, and several bedrooms with a variety of views, including those that overlook the sod and flowered roofs. A private, expansive guest quarters (or rec room/rumpus room) with kitchenette, bathroom, mini fridge, dishwasher and deck, is situated above the three-car garage. Within this 7-bed, 7.5-bath home are features like rustic European ash flooring, alder wood doors and trim, custom cabinets, and natural limestone slab bath countertops. There's Lutron home lighting, radiant heat with individual room control and handsome ridge line sky lighting. The exterior is stunning as well. Hand-hewn siding is redwood shiplap, light fixtures are custom ironwork, and the landscape is nothing short of superb.
