Listing agent Heather McKay of Nick Sadek Sotheby’s International Realty posed a question during a recent tour of The Glass House: What is your favorite feature of the property?
Now that’s a tough question.
The Glass House, a modern architectural gem, just hit the Sacramento luxury housing market for nearly $6.8 million, currently the third-highest priced residential listing in Loomis.
The 5,550-square-foot residence in the fabulous gated community of Cambridge Estates packs in premium amenities — a floating staircase, a glass walkway, an expansive outdoor kitchen and al-fresco dining area, Cabo-shelf infinity pool, indoor movie theater, gourmet kitchen with a butler’s pantry and soaring ceilings.
There’s more.
Every room in the house — not to mention the zero-edge pool — showcases sweeping views.
“You can see it all,” McKay said. “Spectacular, breathtaking, panoramic — the fact that you have the views from every room is pretty cool.”
Views of Sacramento skyline
The 24-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows of glass in the grand room and the dining area — as well as the primary bedroom and bathroom — overlook the downtown Sacramento skyline, surrounding foothills, the Sutter Buttes and Mount Diablo.
The gourmet kitchen opens up to a spacious living room, which flows effortlessly through disappearing sliding glass doors out to the resort-style outdoor kitchen, patio and pool.
A glass-enclosed, 1,000-bottle, temperature-controlled wine room next to the dining table is a piece of art in itself — as is the blackened, ceiling-high steel fireplace in the grand room. Fire elements are everywhere, indoors and out.
Did we mention the hill-top estate sits on a naturally landscaped 2.4 acres? Deer wander up to the house (yes, the landscaping is deer-resistant) and hawks fly at eye level from the upstairs balconies.
Modern design stands out
McKay said the estate’s contemporary steel-and-glass design stands out among the numerous Tuscan-inspired and farmhouse-style homes in the area.
“It’s really refreshing to have such a beautiful modern architectural masterpiece like this, celebrating the foothills with views in every direction,” McKay added.
The owners’ vision, thoughtful design, personal touches and attention to detail are apparent throughout the residence, right down to the wheelchair-accessible, commercial elevator and ample storage.
“One thing about (the owners) is they have paid attention to every detail, as you can see,” she said. “They have USB ports wherever you can think of. They have hoses on all the patios, up and down below. They have an air compressor downstairs so you can blow up your floaties by the pool. Every little detail, they’re so thoughtful on all of that.”
They installed disappearing interior and exterior shades and fully integrated a smart-home system controlled by a phone or a voice-controlled Alexa device.
More great features
- Modern glass design: The sellers, who were active in property management, were passionate about the extensive use of glass in the home. They created an open, transparent feel throughout the house, highlighted by an oversized glass front door that offers a direct sightline through a parallel window into the backyard. They pressed the architect to extend the windows up to the ceiling. The style creates a sense of openness and connection with the landscape from everywhere in the home, McKay said.
- Custom wine cellar: The homeowner wanted a showcase wine storage area that was both functional and visually striking. It was inspired by homes in Los Angeles and Orange County.
- Extensive garage: Accommodating at least five vehicles, the garage is highlighted by a huge storage room behind the main parking area and features a professional car lift and workshop. The classy black-glass, roll-up doors were challenging to find and get installed due to their weight, but the homeowners pushed their contractors to put them in.
- Chef’s kitchen: An expansive waterfall island is the centerpiece of the gourmet kitchen, which opens up to the grand room. There’s a cleverly hidden butler’s pantry with doors that blend seamlessly into the wall and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances.
The property comes with a significant 20 kilowatts of owned solar power and three Tesla batteries for storage.
Built in 2021, the home at 8140 Brookhollow Court is the third-highest-priced listing in Loomis. Topping the market is a $9.85 million listing for a property at 5687 Ridge Park Drive, which features extensive resort-like grounds and an 8-bedroom, 12-bathroom main home spanning 9,300 square feet.
