On one of St. Helena's grander avenues in a most refined neighborhood is a stately home that stands serenely in the view of a majestic oak tree. Secretly hidden is a private back yard boasting a sophisticated, Jack Chandler-designed pool, patio and spa - an urban oasis, really - and surrounding it, a garden of plenty overflowing with potted and espaliered fruits, flowering vines, roses and culinary herbs. The interior of the house builds on the graciousness of the entrance and wrap-around porch.  It is a distinguished home filled with natural light and well-measured architectural notes: arches, wood floors, open staircase and French doors. The main hall transitions to the formal living room with gas fireplace and to the formal dining room.  The great room with dramatic ceiling height, wood burning fireplace and media center, opens to a culinary dream kitchen with double Viking oven, 6 burner Viking cook top, granite counters, Subzero wine frig, and large pantry. The master bedroom, located on the first floor, features two oversized closets, French doors leading to the pool and bath with marble floors, jetted tub, double vanity and separate shower. Also located on the first floor is a den/study with closet, half bath and laundry room/mudroom with outdoor access. Upstairs you'll find an en suite bedroom with private bath as well as two additional bedrooms with shared bath. Parking can accommodate a crowd of guests with space for at least 6 cars off-street and a 2 car detached garage. There's an abundance of storage and many more amenities including built-in speakers, oversized pergola, built-in Lynx barbecue, waterfall and romantic outdoor lighting.  Main Street, Meadowood and wine tasting are only minutes away.  Enjoy the essence of relaxation and refinement.
