About This Property

Step into a legendary Danville legacy at 481 Montcrest Place, a breathtaking sanctuary where quintessential California living meets historic distinction. Originally built in 1976 by Charles Dallas, the visionary developer of Montcrest Place, this property was hand-selected and personally crafted as his own family estate at the absolute highest, most prestigious point on the ridge, earning its iconic reputation as "the home on top of the ridge." A dramatic private driveway entry welcomes you onto nearly two sprawling, beautifully landscaped acres framed by graceful palm trees and anchored by a glittering resort-style pool. Inside the thoughtfully preserved four bedroom, three and one half bathroom residence, a seamless, light-filled layout offers sweeping, unobstructed panoramas of Mount Diablo. Perfectly combining secluded historical prestige with modern everyday convenience, this magnificent property is located just three minutes from the vibrant dining, boutique shopping, and top-tier schools of downtown Danville, delivering the ultimate dream lifestyle without compromise.

Andrew Lowe - Agt: 925-999-0125 - The original developer of Montcrest Place, Charles Dallas built the home situated on 481 for his family in 1976. At the time it was the highest point he could build a home and that is how it became known as Montcrest Place "the home on top of the ridge". He had the foresight to install utility wires underground, and took equal care in the construction of the private residence for his family at 481, which has never changed hands and has been cared for meticulously. The home has a gated entry with loads of privacy, yet it is just three minutes from downtown Danville where you can find great shopping & trendy restaurants. Spectacular views of Mount Diablo are similar to those seen from Tao House where renowned playwright Eugene O'Neil completed his finest works. This home is located on almost 2 acres in Danville's prestigious west side. The manager has listed the unit size as 3155 square feet.
