Summary:

The Apex on Fountaingrove is a testament to modern luxury. Perched at the crest of an upscale community, this expansive home offers a front-row seat to the rolling Fountaingrove hills. The estate combines hilltop seclusion with easy access to the best of Sonoma County. With striking black trim, crisp white walls, and light-filled rooms, this sophisticated sanctuary is designed for those who appreciate clean aesthetics and a true Wine Country perspective.



The Space:

The main level serves as the heart of the home, where modern elegance meets effortless flow. The living room is centered around a gas fireplace, a large-screen TV, and two oversized sectionals perfect for large group gatherings. This space opens directly into a gourmet kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances, a massive island with bar seating for four, and a dedicated eat-in table for six. For more formal occasions, the dining room is a masterclass in style, featuring a table for eight set under a beautiful chandelier. To complete the indoor-outdoor experience, an expansive deck sits just off the kitchen and living room, outfitted with a hot tub, lounge chairs, and al fresco dining for taking in the legendary views.



The main level also features an expansive, theater-like media room designed for the ultimate cinematic experience. The space features curated decor, an extra-large sofa, customizable lighting, and room-darkening shades. Nearby, a dedicated office provides an ergonomic workspace and a queen-sized fold-out couch, located conveniently next to a private bathroom and the home's laundry room with a high-efficiency washer and dryer.



The primary suite is a grand retreat located on the main floor, offering gorgeous views and a private walk-in closet. The suite features a king-sized bed, its own fireplace, and a comfortable lounging couch. The attached ensuite bathroom is designed for total relaxation, featuring a deep soaking tub, an extra-large shower, and double sinks with ample counter space.



The home's staircase leads to the upper level, where a large landing connects three additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The first upstairs bedroom is a private suite with a king bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a lounging couch. The second bedroom offers a queen bed, amazing views of the surrounding hills, and its own lounging couch. The third bedroom features a queen bed and a private TV. These two queen rooms share a well-appointed bathroom located directly off the landing.



From the living room, a spiral staircase leads down to the versatile game room, which features its own collection of original Sonoma County photography, a neon pool sign, and a table that converts from pool to ping pong. Just outside the game room, the experience continues into the yard, which features a full badminton court complete with a net and rackets. For those seeking shade, the lower patio tucked under the deck offers a BBQ and outdoor seating, all bordered by gardens that frame the court.



Throughout the home, nature serves as the primary artist. Original photography is featured in every room, capturing the beauty of Sonoma County from the rugged coast to the local vineyards and poignant views of Coffey Park. Many of the photographs highlight the iconic sculptures found at Paradise Ridge Winery, located just a short drive away, weaving a story of local art and environmental resilience into the fabric of the house.
