3773 Paul Sweet Rd

Step through the front door to this contemporary home and you're immediately struck by a breathtaking hillside view of coastal redwood groves and California live oaks framed by tall picture windows. Stunning vistas are visible from every room and throughout the property, spanning from the top of the driveway to a meadow, fruit trees, brick patio, and decks. Hawks glide through the endless blue skies, and, other than bird songs, the atmosphere is filled with quiet tranquility.
 

Welcome to 3773 Paul Sweet Road, an architect-designed residence of elegant clean lines, calming and sun filled spaces, and a seamless flow between the airy stucco and wood interior and the surrounding natural environment. Although secluded on a private, park-like 2.5 acres, and situated between DeLaveaga Park and Chaminade Hotel, it is less than a 5-minute drive to U.S. Highway One.
 

This tri-level home boasts a spacious living room and a dining area that opens to the upper deck. The sizeable chef's kitchen offers generous counters and cabinet space, a stainless steel and a marble island, energy-saving appliances, a six-burner Wolf stove, and a walk-in pantry and laundry room. From the kitchen, you can access a brick patio featuring a striking traditional hand-laid stone wall and a sculpted granite water element. Upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom and bathroom, while the lower level accommodates a guest or second bedroom, an office, and a large redwood-paneled workroom with access to the lower deck.

Beautiful dark hardwood wardrobes, shelving, and drawers are custom-built into the master bedroom and both bathrooms. The flooring varies with cherry and butcher block hardwood, cork, and carpeting. Bespoke lighting fixtures include rolled glass sconces, ceiling track lights, recessed can lights, suspended pendants and bowls, and a natural wood slat chandelier. The zoned central hydronic heating system, spray foam insulation, and double-paned windows, ensures even and efficient heating. Ceiling fans provide sufficient cooling on warm days.

A portion of the outdoor acreage is enclosed by a novel "basket weave" fence. Stone fruit and citrus trees, along with garden beds of ferns, succulents, and native plantings, are irrigated by a central drip system. A flagstone path lined with fragrant lavender plants, traverses a gently sloping meadow to a staircase leading down to the patio below. All outdoor areas are illuminated with strategically placed pathway lights and floodlights.
