There is a quiet ritual to arriving at The Apex of Blackhawk. The first gate admits you to the country club. The second gate admits you to Eagle Ridge Estates. The third gate, the one at the property itself, admits only you. By the time you reach the circular driveway and five-car garage, the world has been filtered three times. What waits at the top is the highest point in Blackhawk. No address sits above it. The home was designed for single-story living when desired. The primary suite, a second ensuite bedroom, and a formal office all occupy the main level, which means daily life never requires a staircase. Upstairs holds three additional bedrooms for family and guests. Five bedrooms in total, plus a formal office. Five full bathrooms and one half bath serve the interior. A separate outdoor shower and half bath serve the pool. The interior unfolds around the panoramic views, and views of Mount Diablo. Every window in the home, without exception, opens to the ridges of the mountain and the country beyond it. The formal living room frames it. Both family rooms inherit it. The bar, anchored by a full-size wine refrigerator, looks out on it. Even the kitchen, built for serious cooking, doesn't give up the views. Two dining areas. Two dishwashers. Two microwaves.
