Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3413, other record living area = 3155.
While meticulously maintained, the 1976 'thoughtfully preserved' interior likely requires significant capital investment to update finishes and systems to meet modern luxury expectations.
The $3.245M price point for a 1970s-era home may be a hurdle for buyers who must also factor in the costs of contemporary renovations and high association fees.
Some homes have an address. This one has a legacy. Built in 1976 by Charles Dallas — the original developer of Montcrest Place — 481 was designed as his private family residence at the highest buildable point on the ridge. That distinction gave rise to the name Montcrest Place earned over generations: "the home on top of the ridge." This meticulously cared-for property carries with it a sense of history and pride of ownership that simply cannot be replicated. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 3413 square feet of thoughtfully preserved living space, this extraordinary residence sits on a breathtaking 1.97-acre lot — a rare expanse of private, serene grounds that feels worlds away from the everyday. Underground utilities, a gated entry, and nearly 2 acres of beautifully landscaped property reflect the extraordinary foresight and craftsmanship that have defined this home from the very beginning. Inside, the home's generous floor plan flows warmly and effortlessly — a testament to the quality of construction and the meticulous care it has received over nearly five decades of single-family ownership. Every detail speaks to a standard of living that was ahead of its time and has stood the test of it. And yet, despite its serene seclusion and unmatched privacy, downtown Danville's acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, and top-rated schools are just three minutes away — offering the best of both worlds without compromise. The views are nothing short of breathtaking. Sweeping panoramas of Mount Diablo stretch across the horizon — reminiscent of those that inspired renowned playwright Eugene O'Neill to complete his finest works at nearby Tao House. From this vantage point, the beauty of the East Bay unfolds before you in a way that must be seen to be truly appreciated. An incredible opportunity to own on Danville's prestigious Westside.
