1135 Rutherford Road

This beautiful modern farmhouse-style residence offers the best of both worlds; conveniently located within the quaint Napa Valley village of Rutherford yet boasting sweeping vineyard views that create an ambiance that is unmistakably wine country. Created by a design/build dream team, the 4,145 +/- sq ft 4-bedroom home evokes elements of a coveted Howard Backen design, namely a dramatic interior arrival experience, exquisite wood detail, warmth, texture, nuance, continuity, and of course, pocketing doors opening entire walls and windows, perfectly framing the view and inviting indoor/outdoor living. The floorplan centers on a wonderful great room with hand crafted wide plank oak floors, fireplace, spacious dining area and a gorgeous kitchen, thoughtfully planned and equipped to please even the most discerning home chef. As impressive, is the romantic master suite featuring a dedicated gym and a sumptuous bath with dual vanities, free standing tub and its own private view balcony. Also featured within the home are three guest bedrooms with adjoining baths, a cozy media room, temperature controlled wine cellar, workshop, energy-saving solar, and 2-car garage. Outdoors the property enjoys a delightful Claudia Schmidt designed garden with charming entry gate and brick pathway, a wonderful south-facing yard with expansive lawn, a broad entertaining deck, and heated salt water pool. A short jaunt to the Rutherford Grill, Elizabeth Spencer tasting room, and Rancho Caymus Inn with nearby accommodations for overflow guests, this property offers style, convenience and country living, just 75 to 80 minutes from downtown San Francisco.
