Tucked away in Yountville's most graceful neighborhood, this elegant home offers a level of refinement that belies its location in a small country town.  Generous proportions, natural light, and classic architectural elements combine to create a harmonious space with a decidedly sophisticated feel. The handsome exterior features distinctive elevations finished in custom color, wood shingles and siding, a welcoming entry, and just the right touch of traditional detail. The spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom interior features an open floor plan with high ceilings, honey travertine and hardwood flooring, crown molding, raised panel doors, and recessed lighting.  The country-style kitchen combines classic charm with indispensable modern amenities and opens into a delightful breakfast area, a family room with fireplace, and a large outside deck. Upstairs you'll enjoy sunlit rooms and picturesque Napa Valley views.  The master suite provides relaxation and luxury with an inviting sitting area, a spa-like bathroom with a huge vanity, a jetted tub and a separate shower. Completing the list of modern necessities is an oversized 2-car garage and a laundry room. Depending on the direction taken, a five-minute walk will lead you to vineyards and panoramic views of the Vaca mountains - or into the midst of world-rated restaurants, including the French Laundry, flagship of Michelin's highest rated American chef, Thomas Keller.  Equally tempting is simply to amble into the lushly landscaped grounds for a swim in the azure pool, or to quietly contemplate your good fortune as you sip some of the superb local cabernet sauvignon on the flower-bedecked patio. This property truly offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of in-town living with the romance of a country retreat.
