Bayville Court home offers beauty, privacy

Nearly two and a half meticulously manicured acres in Granite Bay — opportunities like this don’t happen every day.
Ensconced behind a private gate, at the very end of a hidden, gem-like cul-de-sac, lies one of the area’s most desirable properties.
The home at 6060 Bayville Court was built with the utmost privacy in mind. Surrounded by 10-foot hedgerows, and buffered on back and side by 17- and 20-acre parcels, there’s no reason to not let the outdoors into this beautiful Mediterranean home.
The grounds certainly feel Mediterranean, with extensive olive trees and neighborhood vineyards.
There are English flairs as well.
Hedgerows run the entire property line, and a rose garden offers the perfect place to take afternoon tea, or to select the perfect bud and bloom for an extraordinary flower arrangement.
“We’re sheltered here with big parcels on either side, and a tremendous amount of privacy,” said Fran Dixon of Ellington Properties. “The original owners are still here, and they built a fence surrounding the property — they have landscaped the whole 2.4 acres, but the yard uses a surprisingly small amount of water.”
The property has a satellite-controlled sprinkler system, bringing the water bill to about $62 per month — a bill that declined by about a third once the satellite-controlled system was in place.
The light-filled, 4,200-square-foot home is primarily one level.
“The homeowner would never have to use a single stair,” Dixon said.
Only the large bonus room is upstairs — an ideal place to play pool, watch a big screen, or even utilize a commanding office.
The real beauty inside the home, in addition to brilliant light flooding throughout, is the kitchen.
Bull nosed granite inspired by outdoors colors like wheat and ploughed earth, marry beautifully with 18-inch-tile travertine flooring.
“Nice weaving of colors creates a beautiful focal point for the kitchen,” Dixon said.
The focal point is obvious — the six-burner Wolf Range that includes a large oven, and backsplash, which was created using a layering technique, involving various granites and surrounded by lightly distressed, grooved cabinetry with rope trim.
The adjoining family room, large enough for the biggest family and group of friends, creates a great-room, complete with showy boxed-beam ceilings and staircase to the upstairs bonus area.
The four-bedroom home includes a remote junior master with full views of the grounds. A downstairs half bath allows access to both laundry room and the backyard, creating much-desired pool access.
The master includes a fireplace and extra-large bath.
Bright glass tile and creamy marble countertops continue the bright, airy feel that makes visitors want to call the house their own.
The joy of this home is how open it is to the gorgeous grounds.
“Every room kind of moves outside — you get great views from all the major rooms in the home,” Dixon said.
The backyard includes a soft-angled pool and an outdoor kitchen and dining area, complete with wood-burning fireplace.
“This is the view from the kitchen and family room — a fabulous yard, total privacy and a lot of color,” Dixon said of the extensive backyard that includes a large, private dog run.
There is also an expansive, covered patio — the breakfast area, the family likes to call it — a patio designed for hours of entertaining and relaxing, and plein air dining for years to come.
