35 Knightwood Lane
Hillsborough
Wow-Factor Designer Retreat
35 Knightwood Lane presides amidst Lower North Hillsborough’s historic mansions and eight-figure luxury estates. Brilliantly re-imagined by the current owners, the home radiates designer cachet from indoors to outdoors. Privacy, prestige, and pure livability reign supreme in your new Hillsborough sanctuary.
The rarity of the design will remind you of real estate conversations overheard at Starbucks and Sunday Open House: “If we could only find a one-level house that opens to a flat yard and has a huge great room as the main living space!” 35 Knightwood exceeds expectations boasting a tour de force kitchen/family great room that continues seamlessly out to a center courtyard and pool. The current owners enlisted award-winning interior designer Kendall Wilkinson to sculpt and modernize the ambiance: the remodeled kitchen embodies the extensive 2016 upgrades featuring an all-new island layout, Calcutta marble countertops, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances with 48 inch range and double dishwashers. Other upscale modern touches include ebonized espresso hardwoods, optic white color palette, octagonal tray ceilings, and new storage solutions highlighted by the luxury master closet. Prior to the recent upgrades, the previous owners had executed an architectural “down to the studs” expansion and renovation in 2008.
All main living areas take full advantage of indoor/outdoor ease of living, with the arrangement comprising a grand U-shape around the center courtyard. At the heart of the home, the enormous kitchen/family great room is a Wow-Factor statement as your everyday hub. This party mecca expands out through retractable La Cantina doors, blurring the line between the family room and the central courtyard. The patio, complete with poolside built-in barbecue and firepit, becomes your “outdoor living room” that naturally engages multiple rooms of the home. Beyond the entertaining spaces, the 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath floorplan offers double master suites, privately sequestered in wings on either side of the home.
Landscape design by acclaimed landscape architect Michael Callan blends magnificent heritage trees with gardens and elaborate stonework. The result is unmistakable wine country charisma! Don’t miss the two usable side yards (north side features a grassy lawn and play structure; south side yard hosts the hidden hot tub and basketball hoop potential).
The unified commitment to both aesthetics and function make this home truly memorable. Even the garage has been expertly customized with all-new cabinetry by California Closets providing mud room storage and seasonal needs. Whether celebrating as your Life of the Party, or taking repose in the cul-de-sac solitude, 35 Knightwood will continue to reward and impress.
Best of all, Lower North Hillsborough is one of the elite neighborhoods in Northern California. To own a home in this location is to avail of the finest in architectural pedigree, educational opportunities, and commute connectivity…in a word…timeless.
