Experience paradise in this luxurious Bali-inspired estate with resort-inspired living and panoramic sunset views
A top-of-the-hill sensation in the exclusive and gated Silver Creek Country Club transports you to a fresh and bright Bali-inspired paradise with panoramic and fiery sunsets views and the elegance of custom finishes and exquisite design.
This custom gated estate at 5593 Snowdon Place is on the market for the first time since it was custom designed by the renowned Bob Taylor and built in 2004 with attention to every detail. Marble, travertine and hardwood floors, soaring coffered ceilings, walls of seamless panes of glass, a sweeping staircase with a custom curved glass and bamboo banister, smooth textured walls, solid white-washed birch interior doors, Nana folding windows, built-ins, multiple French doors that open to outdoor venues, and programmed automated blinds raise this home to a new level of luxury.
Indulge in a luxurious lifestyle in the more than 8,703 square feet of living space on two levels on a gated .71-acre lot in one of the club’s premier locations.
There are five en suite bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, including a private primary suite wing and two main-level guest suites, including one with a kitchenette and a private entry. The home also features stunning formal rooms, a gourmet eat-in kitchen, an expansive family room, a home theater, a wine cellar, an executive office behind glass French doors, two staircases and a fabulous resort-inspired backyard.
Open the double glass and iron front doors and enter a sanctuary drenched in natural light with rounded walls and designed in a neutral palette that is calming to the eye and the mind. The grand foyer sets the tone with its marble tile floor, soaring custom-illuminated domed ceiling and a nearby waterfall and planter box. Take a peek down the barrel-ceiling hallway from the foyer for a phenomenal framed westerly view of Silicon Valley and San Francisco.
Stately columns define the formal living room that is anchored by a gas fireplace. A custom-designed oval glass-topped table under a coffered ceiling creates an inviting formal dining room. A nearby 1,800-bottle wine cellar/tasting room is designed with a slate tile floor and custom wine storage racks.
Step into the gourmet kitchen sure to delight cooks of all levels with its beautifully designed granite-slab counters, a tumbled-stone tile backsplash, an oversize island/breakfast bar illuminated by a trio of pendants, and a walk-in pantry with motion lights. Stainless appliances include a full-size GE Monogram refrigerator and full-size freezer, microwave, a Thermador six-burner cooktop, dual ovens, an electric griddle, a Miele coffee station, three Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers, and two warming drawers.
An adjacent casual dining area also features a custom-made granite-topped table and a wall of built-in cabinetry. The family room also has a wall of built-in cabinetry. A wet bar with a wine refrigerator and ice maker is centrally located between the family room and the home theater that features custom seating, soundproof walls, a Dolby sound system, and a 105-inch screen.
The primary suite of rooms begins at a grand foyer with a coffered ceiling and French doors that open onto a private view terrace. The bedroom has a large sitting room area also with oversize seamless panes of glass that frame the view, a wet bar and an en suite with dual granite-topped vanities, custom cherry built-ins, a walk-in closet and an oversize shower designed with a river-bed rock.
