Saratoga Jewel Box
Located in Saratoga, this provincial jewel box has a stone-clad façade, complete with a covered porch entry. The rustic gourmet kitchen features vaulted ceilings, a custom-made copper vent hood, a built-in Meile coffee bar, and plenty of room to sit and enjoy culinary creations. The great room has exposed beam ceilings with skylights, and the formal living room includes a wood-burning stove to evoke old world charm.
The real star of this home is the outdoor entertainment pavilion – the heated patio slab features a built-in barbecue center and an outdoor kitchen with teak cabinetry. With stunning water features in both the front and back yards, this home was meant to entertain as well as be a sanctuary.
Los Gatos Tuscan Manor
This sprawling three story Tuscan Manor is located in the hills of Los Gatos. All three floors are connected by a beautiful winding staircase, and the ceilings are accented by antique hand-hewn wooden beams. The master bath features a custom-tiled floating tub with a special arched shower.
The manor has a fully finished basement and an attached round garage, designed to mimic an old water cistern. Complete with an olive grove and natural California vegetation, the property includes the main house and a guest house, both of which have roofs made from imported clay tile. The entire home can be powered with the included generator.
Saratoga Family Wonderland
Originally built in the ’80s, we completely gutted and renovated this Saratoga home, which has views of the bay. Set into the hillside, it has three floors, and a four car garage. Built for a family with many children, the 2.7 acre site is fully developed to allow the kids room to roam.
Conrado also installed the pools and landscaping for this project. The backyard has both a plunge pool with slide, as well as an adjacent lap pool. Spectacular in scope, the pools truly make you feel like you are in Disneyland.
Los Altos Hills Winery
This 12-acre Los Altos Hills Tuscan-style beauty was the Conrado Company’s first winery. Designed with the environment in mind, the winery was built using reclaimed lumber ceiling beams and bamboo floors. Custom touches include a stone-clad tasting room, plenty of underground storage, and a large processing area.
The structure itself has several features to help streamline the wine-making and bottling process – exposed truss ceilings, premium ventilation, tons of natural light, and large carriage house-style garage doors for easy deliveries and shipping.
