St. Helena Heirloom

This distinguished craftsman style residence has assumed a proud and prominent place on St. Helena’s west side since its origins over 100 years ago. Commissioned by newlyweds Walter Metzner and his wife Susan Smith and constructed by Gustav Jursch, a well-known St. Helena builder of the time, the home was fashioned in part from redwood timbers harvested from what became the San Francisco Presidio. Lovingly restored to its full glory by the current owners, this romantic Arts and Crafts home has graciously transitioned into its present-day form to include all the modern amenities one would expect, plus more. The main level showcases a double parlor, formal dining room and central staircase, all embellished in rich wood paneling, beams and columns; and a well-designed kitchen featuring custom cherry cabinetry, honed black granite counters, a four-burner Garland range and a spacious butler’s pantry with abundant storage. The home enjoys four bedroom suites, including one on the first level and three additional suites on the second level where gabled dormers provide a lovely flow of natural light into the space. An added-bonus and extraordinary asset is the large finished basement which includes a full bath, kitchenette, wine cellar and copious room for storage and multi-purpose use. The property offers inviting outdoor living areas including a wonderful wrap-around veranda, a fabulous party barn created from the original carriage house, and a private backyard with lawn, built-in barbecue and dining terrace. Comfortably nestled in a heritage landscape of tall palms and lush established plantings, this heirloom property is a rare and timeless gem in Napa Valley’s most charming community.
