An active family ready to entertain would love 6185 Seven Cedar Place in Granite Bay.
The estate is an entertainment compound with nearly 7,898 square feet split up between the 5870-square-foot main house, a 400-square-foot outdoor kitchen and a game room with attached den all surrounding the Roman-style pool.
The main entry is striking as the covered portico leads visitors to the custom mahogany doors with wrought iron artistic window insets. Inside the main entry is the living room to the left and the right is the formal dining room.
The dining room seats 12 with faux finished walls, two chandeliers and custom draperies of tapestry, brocade or silk, said Ellington Properties Realtor and listing agent Fran Dixon.
Travertine-tiled hallways lead you past hand-painted wall murals to the five bedroom suites complete with their own bathrooms and interior design schemes.
The master suite has Savage maple cabinets and a custom cast wood-burning fireplace, Dixon said.
The master has his-and-hers closets with skylights. The bath is designed in the Tuscan-style with a large double shower, jetted spa tub and a back entrance from the pool area.
The only thing larger than the five-foot-deep fireplace in the great room is the projection screen that descends by remote. It turns the cozy family room into a theater for entertaining. The home boasts computerized lighting that simplified controls in every room for different schemes.
There are buttons for the entry, landscaping, gate or when you’re ready to turn in, Dixon said.
The main kitchen is a chef’s desire with a six-burner Dacor range with twin sub-zero refrigerators, double warming trays and four dishwasher drawers surrounded by furniture-quality maple cabinets and a built-in cappuccino machine. The granite slab center island has a pedestal in the center for displaying your latest creation.
There is a large breakfast bar that circles the kitchen and the breakfast area has room for 12, Dixon said.
Off the walk-in pantry is a climate-controlled wine cellar with room for 4,800 bottles.
The wall of windows in the great room present the central focus of the outdoor living here and what can only be described as a pool piazza with entertaining in mind.
The pool is Roman style with a spa on one side and a water feature on the others with six arc style water fountains shooting into the center of the pool, Dixon said.
The outdoor kitchen building has wraparound cabinetry, every kitchen appliance including a rotisserie and a built in barbeque, not to mention the TVs in every corner.
It rivals the kitchen in most people’s homes, Dixon said.
Each side of the kitchen has pass-through window bars.
But if you prefer you can sit in the center table and watch the game or talk while you grill, Dixon said.
The courtyard leads to a special building — the game room complete with a full size shuffleboard and three-sided bar with onyx-style granite bar top with carved lion heads and a hammered metal sink.
The barstools are from the Gold Rush days, Dixon said. You could convert this game room into a guest house. It has a full bathroom and an attached den with a full granite fireplace.
The game room’s French doors lead to the patio with three skylights overlooking a grassy yard. The wine barb highlights the vegetable garden. Further out you’ll discover a wood bridge that spans a scenic creek.
The Seven Cedars estate is offered at $2,995,000. For more information and a private showing you can contact Fran Dixon (916) 791-6398.
