Slice of Heaven with Gated Parking and Sunset Views Perched on a sunny ridge with expansive views to the south, east, and west, this tranquil, quiet haven is close to nature, the city, shopping/dining, and all the Bay Area has to offer. Surrounded by redwood and fruit trees on our 1/2 acre property, your private, detached guesthouse and doorside parking are located behind a secure, automated gate. 24-hour access via a driveway that leads to parking right by your door. In alignment with sustainability values, the guesthouse is solar powered, offers EV charging, recycling/composting, and environmentally-friendly cleaning and personal care products.THE GUESTHOUSE Located 100' behind our family home, the guesthouse is thoughtfully laid out, with an open, bright, and inviting feel. The newly-constructed space has a well-equipped kitchen tucked away from the sleeping area. The bathroom has a locking door, shower, and bidet. The living area offers a dedicated workspace with fast Wi-Fi and plenty of comfortable spots to spread out.Sip coffee and listen to the birds on your private deck with garden view in the morning. Take in the spectacular sunsets from the new redwood pergola at the top of the orchard in the evening. Cozy up in front of the mood-setting electric fireplace, Netflix and chill in front of the flatscreen TV, which can be pivoted to watch from either of the couches or the bed.Close the blinds and room darkening curtains and sleep a beautiful night's sleep on high-quality 100% cotton linens.OUTDOOR SPACEStep outside to listen to the birds' serenade and enjoy local coffee on your private deck with garden view in the morning. Wind up the granite cobblestone path through the fruit tree orchard to take in spectacular sunset views over the valley from the pergola at the top of the orchard in the evening.Note: The orchard and pergola are located behind the guesthouse. While we may sometimes be in this space tending our fruit trees or visiting the pergola, it is often available for your private use since we spend most of our outdoor family time in our own private backyard - which separates and gives space between our house and the guesthouse.
