“It’s sheer luxury, stylish living and tranquil relaxation in a prime location,” said Shana Rhode-Lynch of Pacific Union Real Estate, who is listing the upscale home for $5.75 million.

A surround sound system establishes the media room as the place to watch a movie, championship match or play video games for hours on end.

The Sanda Bird-designed kitchen comes with Miele dishwashers, a six-burner Dacor range, dual ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator — amenities that bode equally well for simple family dinners and large celebrations.
The plethora of electronics and smart home capabilities can take substantial power, so 27 solar panels atop the home help carry the burden.
[...] renewable energy only goes so far, so crews devoted extra attention to the home’s electrical system.
Installing a 400-amp service panel increased the home’s overall capacity, and the use of natural gas helps distribute the workload and downsize the carbon footprint.
