Tuscan-style estate with panoramic city views

This Tuscan-style estate designed by Richard Janzen offers a secluded hillside retreat with fine finishes. The entryway showcases wrought iron light fixtures and handblown glass sconces.

Through curved archways, the hallway opens to a large living room featuring a handcrafted fireplace with satin Venetian plaster finish. French doors lead from the living room to a private interior patio with fountain. Across pecan hardwood floors and under 12-foot vaulted ceilings, the home’s open floor plan leads to a formal dining room, which has a wrought iron chandelier and doors opening to an expansive covered veranda.

The kitchen offers modern appliances, Autumn Leaf marble counters with a tumbled marble backsplash and a casual breakfast area. Off the kitchen is the family room with a second gas-burning fireplace and access to the veranda. The first floor of the home also includes a bedroom with a full bathroom, with the rooms currently used as an office and a powder room.

On the lower level are two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and the master suite, which features a private balcony, walk-in closet and marbled bathroom with Jacuzzi tub. The home also has two other large patio areas and a lower garden area with fruit trees.
