Trilevel contemporary punctuates estate overlooking Alexander Valley

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character.

The three-bedroom contemporary, built in the late 1970s, sits on a hilltop overlooking grasslands and the tree-studded hills of the Alexander Valley.

Picture windows throughout the home frame bucolic vistas.

The main level has an open floor plan, and the kitchen has a stainless steel range, task lights above stone counters and a breakfast bar for casual dining.

Downstairs, the master suite includes a jetted tub beside full-sized windows.

A rec room that could be a fourth bedroom rounds out the lower level, and there are two detached studios.

A deck off the top level provides panoramic vistas of Alexander Valley, while a pool and wood deck are behind the home.
