Featured in Architectural Digest and lovingly known as The Williams-Sonoma House being that it was the home of W. Howard Lester, the president & CEO of the gourmet kitchenware chain, this estate is a statement in casual & refined Wine Country living. Nearly 9 acres of park-like grounds with year round pond, creek, trails through nature, rolling lawns, mature landscaping, and adjacent to the 1500+/- acre Jack London State park. The 3 bedroom plus bonus room/4 bath single level residence has an open floorplan and is the epitome of indoor/outdoor living with walls of French doors and floor to ceiling glass. Light and bright interiors with open beam ceilings in most rooms. Primary suite with fireplace, two walk in closets, and bonus room for the kiddos who might want to be a little closer to their parent's room. In the hills it is rare to find such a large parcel with so much level land for outdoor enjoyment. Charming cabin is creekside and ideal for overflow guests. Take a dip in the pool, dine al fresco under the ancient Oak overlooking your private pond, wander the trails, or just unplug in the sunshine with quiet time only 45 minutes north of the Golden Gate. An estate with history and a true one of a kind.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
