200 MORGAN RIDGE COURT

This Healdsburg estate was built in 2018 by revered architect, James McCalligan of JMA Architects and renowned builder, Scott Miller. It is a modern masterpiece encompassing 5.14 acres within an undulating landscape.

The main house occupies 2,837 square feet and boasts three generously sized bedrooms, all en-suite and one half-bathroom. An attached one-car garage includes a spacious overhead deck, accessed via an ornamental spiral staircase with jaw dropping panoramic views.

A dramatic façade with sprawling paved walkway leads to a towering timber portico and gleaming glass entryway with pivot door, revealing striking industrial style through elements of steel, distressed timber, and a mix of matte and high gloss finishes. Overhead steel beams and a magnificent floor-to-ceiling charcoal surround, featuring an eight-foot Ortal linear fireplace command attention, drawing gazes to the light-filled, cathedral-high combined living/dining area. Until captivating views of Mt. Saint Helena, Geysers, Mayacamas Mountain Range are revealed through impressive, 21-foot wide La Cantina slider doors – beckoning all onto the rear, multi-level covered entertaining deck with a heated pool, integrated hot tub and separate firepit.

This home boasts a multitude of premium alfresco options – beneath the canopy of the soaring cathedral-high rear decked patio; fireside around a magnificent, seven-foot linear firepit; venturing up the spiral staircase to a deck overlooking the entire property; or down by the 46 x 16 heated swimming pool with integrated 7 x 7 hot tub with Jandy RS6 touch controls and ilink for smart phone control – strategically positioned to appear as if it is an hillside edge pool, with uninterrupted views of the valley and beyond. An automatic pool cover ensures your outdoor ‘bath’ remains pristine, and warm, year-round.

Step back inside and appreciate the home’s new integrated audio/visual system as sound – be it television or music, resonates off internal and external spaces for a cohesive aural experience. Explore the kitchen with its backsplash of warm, distressed wood elements with recessed lighting, juxtaposed with a mesmerizing, honeyed quartz waterfall island, and black leathered countertop with one enviable Rohl kitchen sink view. Premium, stainless-steel German appliances further complement the style – Miele dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, and electric cooktop. It looks stunning and feels inviting. Local Sonoma artisans, RC Cabinets and Closets customized and installed what appears to be an endless array of premium white cabinetry with black metal hardware in the kitchen; laundry with commercial-grade Maytag washer and dryer, and lavish, stone-tiled bathrooms.

The downstairs powder room is a delight with its unexpected touches – high gloss zebrawood and porcelain vanity, nickel and glass industrial-inspired feature lighting; soft-lustered tiled backsplash resembling miniature recycled bricks with a contemporary twist – echoing the home’s aesthetic.

Head upstairs via the cast iron balustrade to the spacious ‘loft’ study – evident by the continuation of distressed timber extending from the kitchen up and over into the open space, which overlooks the combined living, dining, and kitchen. Industrial-styled ceiling fans feature in the study and master bedroom. Rolling barn doors of the same distressed timber with industrial metal hardware reveal a generously appointed, light-filled master suite with an ample bedroom with access to yet another spacious decked balcony, 36-inch, multi-side gas fireplace with concrete surround; gleaming white marble ensuite with twin vanities, Calcutta marble surround the garden tub with modern chandelier, and vistas at every turn. Bliss!

The remaining two bedrooms are retreats in their own right – large and bright with wood flooring, recessed lighting and either a large picture window with views, or sliding doors leading to the pool area. Adjoining bathrooms include premium everything – stone tiling, Duravett sinks, Bain Ultra Therma Tubs, and faucets by Graff, Lacava and Axxor.

The detached 480-square foot guest studio with enviable views, thanks to windows by Marvin Integrity, features a stove and bathroom, enhanced with Keuco vanity and lighted mirror; and a private, elevated deck with personal hot tub. It is ideal wine country guest retreat.

The detached, oversized garage measuring 40 x 25 square feet, with two automatic doors includes a half-bathroom – accommodating an array of on- and off-road vehicles, storage needs, and hobbies/interests. A leveled area to the rear of the swimming pool features separate road access and could be improved upon or developed.

Hardipanel siding (concrete) was used as a key construction material – further reducing fire hazard risk, and thereby reducing insurance costs.
