The greatest homes are not defined merely by aesthetics, but by how they make you feel. With 527 Craig Road you are ushered in with a smile on your face as a circular driveway sweeps toward a lemonade-sipping front porch ready for your Adirondack loungers. The essence of curb appeal! Inside, sophisticated designer quality cascades in generous helpings with architectural ceiling treatments, curated touches, and the luxury of experiencing a top-to-bottom fully remodeled lifestyle. Amenities include 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, plus a large Office with double built-in workstations. 

Destinations are critical to the success of any floorplan. Here we find everything in its place--all on one level--for the active family flow: from the minute you park in the 3-car garage and plug in your charger, then step into a huge custom Mud Room, and onwards to a Kitchen/Family Great Room with an 11 ft. marble island, wine bar, and direct yard access. Adjoined by a large breakfast area and opening to the back yard, the family room features a 10 ft. 3 inch cathedral ceiling and rustic reclaimed wood beams. Nearby, an antique stained glass door conceals an oversized walk-in pantry. This meeting of designer character and full luxury function becomes a signature throughout. 

Organization into wings delivers convenience and privacy for immediate or extended family. This was the winning strategy during the expansion of the north wing. The south bedroom wing includes the Primary Suite (with fireplace and yard access) plus two fantastically ornamented children's rooms with ceilings that rise to over 14 feet, plus play lofts...Harry Potter deluxe! The re-worked north bedroom wing features an enormous Office/Playroom (two built-in workstations and 11 ft. cathedral ceiling) plus two additional bedrooms ideal as guest, gym, or in-law quarters. One of the bathrooms here also serves as a handy pool bathroom with direct yard access. 

The interior design is eclectic in its neutrality. This shows off influences of French, Farmhouse, and Modern, all synthesized with white marbles, crisp white woodwork, cool greys and blues, and extraordinary attention to fine nuance..truly "luxury in the details." The current owner took the infrastructure to the next level with the installation of Tesla 16.32 kW solar Panels with 2 Powerwalls, making this a solar-powered paradise and EV ready. 

Outside, on a a sunny and private half acre, you won't believe the 100% usability and absolute flatness! As in the main home, the exterior shines with its destinations, a fluid sense of leisure for all seasons. Two covered entertaining pavilions, one off of the kitchen/family room, and the second just beyond the pool, define sheltered areas for friends and family to gather. Amenities such as built-in heaters and a built-in grilling station have been carefully thought out. Vast stretches of synthetic lawn are ready for back yard soccer, football, or a toddler's first steps.  Punctuating about the center of the yard, and amidst the ambiance of a perimeter redwood grove, prepare to luxuriate by a gas firepit with built-in seating bench. With its lavish flames and warmth, this is one more nod to the home's Wine Country influences.

Craig Road is widely considered the finest street in the Carolands area. The flatness of the road, the minimal through traffic, and an elegant assemblage of upscale estates all are contributing factors. The Carolands area was conceived as Hillsborough's crown jewel tracing to 1914. The original 554 acres were selected as the site for one of America's greatest homes, the beautifully restored Chateau Carolands just around the corner. Today, whether it's jovial Halloween events at the historic Chateau, or the 3 minute connection to West School and Highway 280, Hillsborough's Carolands continues to reign as one of the Town's most desirable locations.
