23 Monte Vista Avenue, Larkspur
$4,995,000

A once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself in the offering of this Victorian inspired residence of unparalleled design and scale. The 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence was completed in 2016 as a ground up/new construction with the collaborative efforts of an unrivaled design team (Heydt Designs). Timeless, high-end fixtures, lighting, tile, and milled woodwork were seamlessly blended in the creation of a residence that blends Victorian inspired architectural character with more contemporary, timeless finishes throughout. The heart of the house is a grand scale great room that offers soaring ceilings, a huge chef’s kitchen, large, open dining area, and adjacent family room. The optimal floor plan offers a hotel like master suite with two additional en-suite bedrooms on the upper level. Seamless indoor/outdoor living is enjoyed throughout with the great room opening directly to the sprawling level yard and mature gardens. The residence is perfectly site placed on a level +- ¼ acre and offers a myriad of outdoor entertaining areas, sweeping level lawns (no mow grasses), large bluestone terrace, and large elevated deck for al fresco dinners. Optimal site for a pool with renderings provided by Michael Yandle (mbyandle.com). The residence enjoys “reach out and touch” Mt. Tam views in its south facing orientation for all day sun. 23 Monte Vista is located in the coveted flats on what is arguably Larkspur’s most desirable location, just blocks from downtown Larkspur’s many vibrant shops and restaurants.
