More than 15 years in the planning, design and development, the 69 homes in Danville's Magee Preserve are almost all sold and occupied. Now the best and largest of those homes, 108 Brumby Street--the community's flagship model home--comes to market for the first time.
The spectacular Mediterranean-style home offers five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms over approximately 5,600 square feet, under elevated ceilings, just a mile down the road from the Diablo Country Club. More than 380 acres of open space surround the property, with hiking and biking trails in every direction. Yet the dining, shopping, amenities and schools of Danville are just a short drive away.
Enter from the porch to a foyer with a formal living room and spacious office on either side, and pass the unique interior courtyard and loggia, with an oversized fireplace ready to ward off any winter chill. The heart of the home lies beyond, with an open-concept kitchen (with two dishwashers, spacious quartzite counters, and an island), informal dining nook (seating six to eight, plus four more in bar seating at the kitchen's island) and family room looking out to the back yard and hillside beyond. Distinctive 5" plank hardwoods grace the premises throughout. A walk-in pantry and butler's pantry house all the necessities for dining and entertaining, and the formal dining room (220 square feet in size) sits alongside. Hidden ceiling speakers set the mood with one's music of choice.
A bedroom with en-suite bathroom, ideal for guests, completes the first floor.
A dramatic stairway, under a spectacular chandelier, leads upward to four more bedrooms (each with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet), a rec room nearly 300 square feet in size, and a deck overlooking the interior courtyard. The principal suite is grand, with a bedroom of nearly 350 square feet, two walk-in closets that will accommodate any wardrobe, and a bathroom with an oversized shower (with three heads), a soaking tub, and two sinks.
Laundry could not be more convenient. The principal laundry room is upstairs, with ample counter space; a smaller laundry is located downstairs.
The backyard exemplifies the best of Danville outdoor living. A built-in Lynx barbecue and ample counter space are perfect for summer grilling, and the expansive deck and an elite gas firepit accommodate residents and guests. The yard already is immaculately landscaped, and the hillside beyond (all open space, immune from development) offers gorgeous landscapes that range from green to golden with the season. A hazard abatement district maintains the hillsides, and sophisticated drains divert rainfall. The home was built with Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) construction features, including fire-resistant siding and garage doors, and concrete slate roofing.
A sophisticated security system protects the premises. Parking is easy, with three garage spaces (with EV charging), ample space on the driveway and quiet road alongside, and a small auxiliary parking area down the street.
