The Perfect Meeting of Sun, Celebration, and Savoir Faire

The great architects and interior designers understand the true measure of success is creating lifestyle through destinations…to inspire everyone who encounters a space to meet, to retreat, to celebrate, to create. It’s where a room beckons to raise your mood, it’s where infused sunshine colors life’s milestones, and it’s where your center of the universe comes into focus. Backing up to scenic acres of Crocker Lake Open Space, 748 Jacaranda Circle is one such place. With minimal boundary between indoor and outdoor living, you are invited to marvel in the moment. 

Prestigious Jacaranda Circle is one of Hillsborough's most unique settings. Consider it the Town's best-kept secret! Along this picturesque loop with minimal through-traffic, you are just  0.6 mile to Crocker Middle School, 1.1 mile to Nueva School, 1.2 mile to West School, and 1.9 miles to the Apple Store on downtown's Burlingame Avenue. As a highlight of Lower Skyfarm, Jacaranda Circle emerged in the late 1970s with another important distinction: it backs up to Hillsborough's own "watershed" lands of Crocker Lake. This man-made reservoir was originally created to provide irrigation to William H. Crocker's circa-1910 New Place estate, and later the Burlingame Country Club grounds and golf course. Today, a handful of lucky properties enjoy this ambiance of untouched greenbelt in the spirit of Woodside or Tahoe. Adding to Jacaranda's ambiance is the assemblage of stunning luxury homes: welcome to this perfect meeting of sun, celebration, and savoire faire!

Approaching the home, the gentle plateau elevation ensures privacy and streaming light. Traditional lines frame a large motor court, 3-car garage, and columned portico entry. Inside, modern savvy takes center stage with 10 ft ceilings, a lobby entrance hall, and a statement living room. Symmetry is a stunning effect with the living room's central fireplace and wall of cerulean blue built-in cabinetry. Consider this your tucked-away sophisticate's retreat, just off the beaten path from the home's main circulation. And don't miss the nearby designer powder room, exploding with whimsy and surprise! 

At the heart of the main level, interior designer Liz Kahn puts her award-winning stamp on the tour de force Kitchen/Family Great Room. Here, one giant space soars open to the terraces and pool through a wall of retractable glass doors. The space is re-imagined, opened up, and remodeled for the pages of a magazine. Ten foot ceilings offer a commanding presence and provide the volume for brilliant western sun exposure. A marble-clad ten-foot center island holds court, flanked by sleek dining, media, and gathering space. A glamorous craft cocktail bar shows off designer flourishes and hues, while appliances by Wolf and Sub Zero appoint a kitchen of grand function. Seamlessly through the Great Room's retractable wall of doors, you are ushered to an "outdoor living room," featuring built-in Lynx grilling station, refrigerator, and dining terraces. 

Destinations include 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, two half-baths, plus large dedicated office or gym, and a huge life-of-the-party recreation roommeasuring a billiard-friendly 21 x 26 feet. The majority of the home flows on one level, including four of the bedrooms together, highlighted by a decadent Primary Suite. The 5th bedroom (en suite) occupies its own private wing on the main level ideal for guest or au pair. The upstairs addition ideally separates the office and recreation room from the rest of the home. 

The Primary Suite deserves its own paragraph. Bumped out from the original home, this is the indulgent respite you dream of for the end of the day. Three customized closets plus a built-in chest of drawers satisfy every fashionista or methodical organizer. Primary bedroom ceilings peak at nearly 12 feet. A wall of windows and French doors frames acres of green in the distance, with the sparkling pool in the foreground. Full western exposure means lazy afternoons amongst streaming sun. White marble encases the Primary Bathroom, which features. a dramatic skylight and oversized steam shower (don't miss the built-in speaker!) When you let yourself drift into Wine Country mode, this suite will feel like your favorite Calistoga hideaway, complete with French doors leading out to the pool, spa, lawns, and bucolic vista. 

Outside, full usability and activity centers are the name of the game. From the lighted sport court with pro hoop, to the new central lawns, outdoor kitchen, outdoor audio, rectangular pool and spa, and scenic firepit deck...privacy reigns supreme. The adjacent open space preserve brings that extra touch of magic. Easily adaptable to your future ADU, this parcel enjoys approx. .60 acre of luminous east/west orientation. Your energetic "Design for Living" awaits...a canvas for life's celebrations, a treasured storyline with many more rewarding chapters ahead.
