About this home

Villa Fontenay is one of those well-kept secrets, worth knowing about. Marketed in the early 1900's as a first class Summer and Winter resort, over the years it has evolved into a very special, gated and private enclave of 14 estate homes located on the upper edge of Scotts Valley, w/ tennis courts, trails and 53-acres of common space. Rural but refined, private yet close-in, a sprawling 4+BR single-level home w/ pool, spa, 4-car garage and bonus room above it, located just 15 mins fr Los Gatos or the beach, and 2 miles from Starbucks. Two separate family rms, a second master suite or rec room, formal dining, pool, spa, wraparound decks and generous lawn and garden spaces offer a wealth of choices for indoor/outdoor living. Generously-sized rms, vaulted ceilings, hardwood flrs, and abundant view-catching windows throughout. Quiet, very usable 2.8 acre parcel on the far edge of the neighborhood w/ ridge-line views. Something very special!
