A Modern Sanctuary Among the Redwoods
Set back from the street on a sun-drenched 10,000+ square foot lot (per public record) and nestled among redwood trees, 7981 Terrace is truly an exceptional property. Architect-designed and built in 2017, this mid-century modern influenced home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths*, plus a detached 1-bedroom/1-bath ADU.
Your heart will skip a beat as you approach the home, taking in the striking textures and mesmerizing play of light that set the tone for this remarkable retreat. Step inside, and your eyes are drawn straight through elegant glass double doors to the expansive backyard beyond.
The main floor features a luxurious primary suite with an en-suite bathroom showcasing a separate shower and tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level, with direct access to the stunning backyard. Polished concrete floors flow seamlessly throughout, creating a gallery-like ambiance.
Ascend the stairway and prepare to be delighted by the open floor plan flooded with natural light from multiple windows. The gourmet kitchen boasts beautiful quartzite counters with abundant space for the family chef. The living room centers around a RAIS® wood-burning fireplace, while a covered deck with a built-in gas BBQ beckons for indoor-outdoor entertaining. An additional flexible room serves perfectly as a bedroom, office, or family room, plus a convenient half bath. Cork flooring adds warmth and sustainability throughout this level.
The level, park-like backyard must be seen to be believed—offering endless possibilities for hide and seek, gardening, bocce ball, and relaxation. Two outbuildings - one with a full bath - provide versatile bonus space; let your imagination run wild with the possibilities.**
The 1-bed/1-bath ADU mirrors the sophistication of the main house and can be rented for income or connected to create additional living space.*** A two-car attached garage adds convenience.
Built to modern codes and to Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) standards****, this home features radiant heat, owned solar panels, and fire sprinklers for peace of mind.
This is more than a home—it's a private compound, an entertainer's dream, and a serene retreat where you can listen to the birds and breathe in the beauty of nature.
