Nestled on nearly an acre in the Kent Woodlands, this contemporary residence embraces luxe country living.

From the outside, the home is all contemporary with wood, metal, and concrete. Inside, a cozier scene unfolds in an upscale cottage aesthetic with high ceilings and hardwood floors. While there are lovely views of Mount Tamalpais, the house itself is surrounded by lush flora, including roses and hydrangeas leading down to a pool and deck with a backdrop of oak trees.

The 5,609-square-foot residence features large public spaces like a sunken living room with a fireplace and a dedicated dining area. Just behind the living room are large glass doors that open to the backyard. The kitchen is outfitted for the chef at heart with a myriad of dual appliances in stainless steel, a large island in the center with bar seating, and a breakfast area.

There are six bedrooms including two primary suites, and all feel like serene escapes with walls of glass, backyard access, enormous walk-in closets, and even larger bathrooms with soaking tubs and roomy showers.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and La Catina folding glass doors let the outdoors in, but with multiple Brazilian ipe wood decks, a built-in gas fire pit, spa, and two lawns you're likely to spend most of your time outside. This home is also close to local eateries, markets, and hiking and biking trails.
