Concierge Auctions: Bidding Opens at US$5 Million for Gated European-Style Estate in California’s Bay Area

Auction closes online 29 August in cooperation with Jill Fusari of The Agency

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Concierge Auctions announced that bidding has opened at US$5 million for a palatial estate combining modern amenities and classical architecture in Lafayette, a suburb in California’s coveted Bay Area. The property will be offered in cooperation with Jill Fusari of The Agency, with bidding open online through 29 August via the firm’s online marketplace.

Rebuilt in 2011, the property’s main home spans 11,946 square feet, highlighted by exceptional craftsmanship and high-end materials. The French-style estate offers a seamless blend of contemporary simplicity and classic old-world details, including a mirrored dining wall and luxurious fireplaces. The interior features abundant natural light, high ceilings, and predominantly hardwood flooring throughout. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, a Carrara marble island, professional-grade appliances, and a butler’s pantry.

The primary suite includes a gorgeous ensuite bathroom with a spacious dressing area, steam shower, and soaking tub with a view. The sprawling grounds, which encompass seven acres, include a heated saltwater pool, a covered loggia with an outdoor kitchen, and a guest house. Residents can enjoy a relaxing evening in the living area with a good book, or take a glass of wine on the terrace while enjoying views of Mount Diablo.

"This estate is a rare combination of classical design, modern functionality, and proximity to both nature and dynamic urban life," said Jill Fusari. "It represents the fusion of everything that makes California living so exceptional and presents an extraordinary opportunity for the discerning buyer."

Architectural details throughout the property include custom millwork and moldings, designer bathroom vanities by Sandra Brown, walnut hardwood flooring, solid core doors, and a slate roof with copper gutters. The estate's interior features include a Savant home smart system, Lutron light system, and designer wallpaper. The guest house, totaling 1,079 square feet, includes a bedroom, a full bath, along with living and dining areas, a separate entrance, and ample parking.

The outdoor living areas come complete with a whole home Generac natural gas generator, an outdoor loggia with a covered kitchen area, a BBQ with rotisserie, and a treated copper bar top. The outdoor spaces are enhanced by stone flooring interlaid throughout, including a second covered loggia with living room area, a Rumford wood burning fireplace with gas log inset, and a recreational area with bocce court, firepit, and additional parking. The property also offers a producing vineyard with various grape varieties, a large laundry room, a home office, and a fireproof “vault” room.

“This exceptional home is exactly the kind of property Concierge Auctions excels at showcasing—premium amenities surrounded by aesthetically stunning design,” said Bob Buttaro, Vice President of Business Development at Concierge Auctions. “Our network of well-qualified bidders trust our platform for our ability to present opportunities like this one, and coming off the heels of a record-breaking sale in neighboring Danville, California, we look forward to helping achieve another successful sale.”
