126 Poplar Drive, Kentfield
$4,695,000

Reminiscent of the Napa Valley’s Meadowood resort and hotel, this east coast, shingle style residence has undergone a recent renovation utilizing the finest in high-end, timeless finishes. The extensive use of white marble, fine moldings, wide plank oak flooring, designer lighting, high ceilings, and chic wall coverings has been masterfully blended together to create a modern day work of art. The owner’s well regarded design team created a “vacation at home” experience with seamless indoor/outdoor living throughout the +-3,960 square foot home. The heart of the house is an outstanding great room that opens to both the pool and lawn areas, as well as a beautifully designed large deck. “Reach out and touch” Mt. Tam views are enjoyed from nearly every room in the house. Resort like in every way, the +- 7/10ths of an acre grounds include old growth trees, a beautifully designed in-ground pool with waterfall, fire pit, level lawns, lower level deck and play area (ideal for trampoline or play structure), and outdoor kitchen. The pool and dining areas offer grand scale bluestone terraces, ideal for hosting large events and more intimate dinners on warm summer nights. Lush, mature vegetation includes white roses, olive trees and east coast style plantings throughout. South facing with all day sun, 126 Poplar enjoys the best of the Ross Valley weather. Gated, private and very quiet, the residence is in a relatively easy commute location with easy access to Highway 101. Located in the coveted K-8^th grade award winning Ross School District.
