Above the great room, a loft currently serves as a fitness studio while remaining suited for a second office, media room, or library. An oversized three-car garage with extensive built-in storage provides everyday functionality, while a 12 x 12 insulated outbuilding with electricity, Wi-Fi, a covered porch, and gated storage offers exceptional flexibility. On the main level, the expansive primary suite opens through French doors to a secluded garden patio beneath the canopy of a mature willow tree, creating a tranquil outdoor retreat. The spa-inspired bath showcases travertine finishes and a fully built-out walk-in closet. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms overlook the treetops and eastern hills, each offering a walk-in closet, office nook, vaulted ceilings, and en suite bath. Located in Browns Valley, one of Napa's most desirable residential neighborhoods, the property enjoys exceptional convenience to downtown Napa, Yountville, and Sonoma while offering the shortest drive within Napa Valley to the Bay Area's primary commuting corridors.
