Architect’s Sanctuary Beneath the Oaks

FURNISHED RENTAL! 3 Month Minimum! When the original developer of North Ranch chose his homesite in the mid 1980's, he chose 4525 Rayburn St. Dotted with majestic coastal oaks, the 29,000 SF property offered a unique serenity with a gentle rolling topography affording the architect/builder the freedom to create a genuine sanctuary. Nothing captures the spirit of man's interaction with the natural world than the one of a kind glass pyramid skylight located in the center of the soaring ceiling. The airiness and voluminous space intersect crisscrossing lumber beams, creating a sense of wonder and bliss. The tongue and groove wooden ceiling coupled with the afore mentioned beams, evoke man's connection to nature and the heavens, while the travertine floors anchor the soul to the earth. With more than 4,500 SF, including the sensational glass garden room or the detached 3 car garage/ gym and billiard hall, the space is all encompassing and engrossing. With the primary and a 2nd large ensuite on the main level, plus the kitchen, powder and open family room, this home lives easy and casual while the formal dining room is ready to meet any occasion. The lower level consists of two more bedrooms, a bath, laundry and an open entertainment room which could serve as bed 5 should your needs require it. Stepping through the main level French doors into the garden room, you feel the towering angular glass and wood ceiling, the walls of glass and used brick floor as a transition to the outside world. The yard is park like, with the sound of water cascading from the pool and its tiled water well and the walled yard features a gated circular driveway. The 3 car garage has been converted into a gym and fabulous pool hall replete with bench, barstools and pool table. Behind the garage is a small fruit tree orchard and gardening area. Additional amenities include remodeled baths, stunning millwork, both a built-in refrigerator and separate freezer along with top of the line appliances. Near the prestigious North Ranch Country Club, the finest shopping and both public and private educational opportunities, this gated estate suits everyone from the most down to earth to the most cosmopolitan.
