About 45 N Merrill Circle
An exclusive European-inspired estate positioned on one of the most private and coveted lots within Sanders Ranch — Moraga’s premier gated community — this exceptional residence offers true resort-style living defined by craftsmanship, scale, and timeless elegance. Anderson specialty windows, Italian travertine verandas, plantation shutters, Venetian plaster walls, soaring ceilings, and rich hardwood floors create an atmosphere of understated sophistication throughout. The primary suite stands in a category of its own, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, a private travertine terrace, and direct access to an oversized extra-deep spa. A richly appointed wood-paneled office with custom built-ins and an ensuite bath offers flexibility as an executive retreat or private fifth-bedroom suite. Formal living and dining rooms, anchored by a gas fireplace, open seamlessly onto the wraparound travertine veranda overlooking serene garden vistas. Spacious secondary bedrooms and elegant French doors throughout enhance the home’s refined yet highly livable character. The chef’s kitchen features custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and dual dishwashers. Adjacent, the inviting family room with fireplace and private veranda provides a warm and intimate complement to the formal entertainment spaces. Professionally landscaped grounds showcase lush gardens, meandering pathways, waterfalls, and expansive lawns — all enveloped in exceptional privacy. Located within the award-winning Moraga school district and behind the gates of prestigious Sanders Ranch, this is a rare offering that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
