Striking Napa abode once home to Clark Gable includes classical detail, modern flourishes
Once home to Hollywood stars and boasting an award-winning design, 447 Randolph St. in Napa represents the epitome of luxury living in Wine Country.
Academy award winning actor Clark Gable and actress Carol Lombard both lived in the four-bedroom, four-bathroom abode originally built in 1905. Designed by architect Luther Turton, the home received a renovation award in 2006 and was expanded in 2014. Now the high-end listing features a chef’s kitchen, restored hardwood flooring, a home theater and an office.
The classical facade delivers striking curb appeal. Arches and picture windows adorn the front, while sculpted hedges and a flag pole accent the front yard. Meanwhile, the landscaped backyard hosts a hot tub, mature trees, lawn and patio.
A stone pathway leads to the covered front porch. Once inside, the home’s classical grandeur comes into focus. The living room offers three distinctive sitting areas, while a gas fireplace with a stone surround warms the space. Solid wood pocket doors feature glass inlays as sunlight pours through leaded glass windows. A built-in hutch accents the formal dining room.
Dual ovens, a farmhouse sink and custom cabinetry outfits a chef’s kitchen revolving around an island with a built-in cooktop. A contemporary backsplash accentuates a cooking area that includes wine refrigerator, pass-through serving station and breakfast nook.
The remodeled bathroom attached to the owner’s suite hosts granite vanities, subway tiled walls and a custom tile floor. A walk-in shower completes the spa-caliber retreat.
Despite a wealth of traditional elements, the home also caters to 21st Century living. The home office is ideal for telecommuting, as the versatile space has cable and fiber optic Internet available.
