The modern farmhouse is redefined by Architect, Barbara Chambers, and Jennifer Tidwell of Piper Sage Design. In this 5 bedroom, 4 and half bath new construction home. Nestled amongst the hills on a 19,000 square feet flat lot this luxury residence is walking distance to the thriving and charming shops and cafes in downtown Larkspur. The high concept floor plan is dramatic yet extremely practical comprised of a large entertaining wing that is connected via a sleek metal and glass atrium to a separate private wing that houses the bedrooms, family room and office. The great room has double height vaulted ceilings with reclaimed wood trusses, La Cantina bi-fold doors on both sides of the room, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor transition to the patio, lawn and built-in barbecue. The kitchen is aesthetically impactful with a gorgeous Calcutta marble island, built-in breakfast nook and La Cornu, Cornufe stainless and brass range. Most of the appliances are thoughtfully tucked away in the Butler’s pantry creating a dining and entertaining experience that feels more like a stylish restaurant. The family wing has a practical mud room right off the two car garage, an office/5th bedroom, full laundry room with farm sink and a spacious family room with French doors leading to the fire pit.
