Nestled in the Lakeview canyons, the Secret Garden Sanctuary is the special home you have been searching for. Built in 2008, and situated on a nearly flat one-half acre plus parcel, the almost 5,000 square foot English Tudor inspired home has been lovingly maintained and upgraded over the years by an artist and interior designer. Complementing the main residence is a charming 300-square-foot ADU cottage which mirrors the timeless elegance of the primary home. Wake up to birds chirping on the veranda off the primary suite as you remotely turn on the jets of the in-ground jetted pool. Enjoy a steam shower in the full slab natural stone shower, followed by a breakfast prepared in the chefs kitchen using fresh ingredients harvested from your own garden and eggs gathered from the chicken coop. Meditate over the soothing sound of the natural stone fountain. Wander through your garden to prepare for a focused day of work in the large and sunny office or relax into the evening in front of the hearth, contemplating the hand painted ceilings of the dining room after dinner with a glass of wine. This house is truly special, hidden in the hills, among a community of caring Hillsborough neighbors. Your sanctuary awaits.
