Property Description
Rare Northgate Opportunity. This is the first time this beautiful Spanish-style home has been on the market. This rare gem was the last custom home built in the original Northgate oasis in Modesto. Located at the end of a quiet, coveted court, it is close to shopping, parks, and the Virginia Corridor walking and biking trail. Davis High School and Beard Elementary School. Lovingly designed and built by the owners and Modesto's legendary contractor, Hans Person, this four-bedroom, three-bath home features a grand two-story entry hall complete with Spanish arches, stunning handmade Spanish wallpaper, beautiful mosaic floor tile, and magnificent wrought-iron chandeliers. Hand-hewn beams create a breathtaking stairway and living room ceiling. Beautiful wrought-iron fixtures throughout the interior and exterior were manufactured and selected for the home in Mexico. This home was designed for entertainment. From the entry hall, the glistening pool and rose-adorned backyard can be seen through the custom-manufactured double-pane patio doors. Open the doors, and the beautiful backyard becomes part of the living room for seamless entertainment both inside and outdoors. The 8-foot-tall back fence covered in beautiful white star jasmine flowers assures a private haven for both entertaining and solitude. The hand-stamped concrete patio and deck add to the charm of the backyard. The first-floor primary suite includes cedar-lined closets. The sunken Roman tub/shower looks out on an atrium with flowers for all seasons. The large family room is memorable for its magnificent fireplace and gas stove that efficiently heat the room during cooler months. An adjoining laundry room and full bathroom allow the room to be an isolated space for overnight guests. The kitchen and dinette are centered on a large island for easy culinary preparation. The formal dining room adjoins the kitchen. The garage easily provides space for two large vehicles. From the multiple built-in cabinets, loft, and huge storage closet in the garage, to attics at each end of the second floor, there is more than adequate storage space. An added feature is a custom-built temperature-controlled wine cabinet that will hold up to 171 bottles and four cases of wine. Grapefruit and orange trees oversee the side yard, which includes a wide gate sufficient for a recreational vehicle. This magnificent property is a well-built architectural beauty, and its exceptional location is unequalled in Modesto.
