Updated European Grandeur with Exceptional Resort Amenities

16722 Marchmont Drive, Los Gatos

Offering unparalleled distinction, this estate-quality property was built in 2007 and beautifully updated in just the past two years. The home’s Mediterranean style is immediately apparent with its tiled roof and front walls of stone defining the impressive entrance beyond manicured gardens and an iron gate. Inside, the timeless allure combines the consummate appeal of modern luxury with European elegance for the quintessential California lifestyle. The property is sophisticated and spacious for hosting gatherings of any size, yet decidedly warm and welcoming for everyday living.

Hand-hewn hardwood or travertine tiles finish the floors of every room, graceful arches span room openings, and elaborate stonework in the foyer creates a passageway leading past the wine cellar. Arranged over two levels, lavish amenities are plentiful, including 5 fireplaces indoors, all new lighting and window coverings, plus a stunning remodeled all-white kitchen that is fully open to the family room.

Four sumptuous bedrooms are found on the upper level along with a large finished bonus room with flexible use for play, office, or media use. The primary bedroom suite looks out to the western hills and has a luxurious bath and large customized walk-in closet. There is also an attached 3-car garage with one bay currently used for the perfect fitness center.

Outside, the grounds are perfectly appointed for resort living with a pool and spa with waterfall wall, synthetic lawn, fruit trees/flower garden, and patio with fire pit. But the loggia is certain to be the primary outdoor living space with its fireplace, on-wall media in two places, built-in heaters and fan, plus a full barbecue kitchen with bar seating. Completing the appeal of this very special property is its premier location less than one mile from all the acclaimed schools and only one mile to downtown amenities on University and Santa Cruz Avenues.
