Designer Farmhouse with Magical Views

This custom country home is based on a sublime and stylish design that combines the warmth and character of a farmhouse with impeccable craftsmanship, numerous thoughtful conveniences, and contemporary fixtures and appliances. The property borders a vineyard, grounding it in the agricultural essence of Napa Valley and also blessing the home with wonderful valley-floor views of the vineyard and the Vaca and Mayacama mountains. These views can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining room and backyard patio, but the greatest magic is offered from the second-story master bedroom where the solar announcement of daybreak, and the monthly wonder of a full moon’s billowing ascension, are specially presented for an audience of one or two. The kitchen and dining room exemplify the clever mixture of the classic with the contemporary in this 3 BR/2.5 BA house, integrating top-of-the-line modern appliances with white oak wood flooring, custom made cabinetry, oak ceiling beams salvaged from a Midwest barn, maple butcher block counter tops, and wood-frame French doors and double-hung windows.

In brief, this room combines the cozy comfort of your Grandmother’s vintage kitchen with modern conveniences she never dreamed of, such as a Viking wall convection oven, microwave, and warming drawer; Dacor 6 burner cooktop; Miele dishwasher; and Kitchen Aid three zone wine and beverage refrigerator. The theme continues in the bathrooms where Carrera marble, subway tile, warm woods and high-end fixtures create a pleasing ambiance that’s both high-end and natural. The home enjoys an office/den with beautiful custom built-in cabinetry; mudroom and laundry room; two one-car garages, one attached and one serving as a workshop; and a panoply of features and amenities detailed in the property notes. This is the farmhouse for modern, romantic, somewhat pampered “gentlemen farmers.”
