Sitting high on a premier corner lot inside the guard-gated Wexford community, a Granite Bay estate is the kind of place built to make an entrance, and then keeps surprising you room by room — culminating in a showstopping home movie theater with old-school glamour and a red-carpet ambiance.

Listed at just under $3 million, the home spans 7,575 square feet with four or five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and three half baths, plus five garage spaces on a little more than a half acre.
Listing agent Kendra Bishop of The Bishop Real Estate Group doesn’t hesitate when asked where this home sits in the elite neighborhood’s pecking order.
“I think all in all, it’s one of the … jewels of Wexford,” Bishop said while giving a reporter a tour of the residence. “We’re situated on this corner — it’s such a grand home.”
Stunning architecture
From the curb, the estate leans into traditional luxury — a stately facade and a sense that this 1998 build was designed to endure. Step inside and the craftsmanship is apparent: layers of detailed trim work, arched doorways and leaded glass.
“All of the architecture is just stunning,” Bishop said.
That substance shows up in the little things that elevate a big house into a memorable one — intricate millwork, triple crown molding and custom touches that give the home a cohesive, old-world richness rather than a patchwork of trends. Despite the scale, Bishop said, the home has been kept in show-ready condition.
“I look at it, going from ’98 to now — yeah, it is in meticulous condition,” she said.
The layout is built for both daily life and entertaining, starting with a kitchen that has been updated to modern expectations while still fitting the home’s classic style. Quartzite counters, a large island and generous work areas anchor the space. Uncommon when the home was built 28 years ago, there’s a separate “dirty” kitchen, a behind-the-scenes work zone that helps keep the main kitchen guest-ready during gatherings.
Elsewhere, the home is layered in features buyers at this price tier tend to want, such as a separate, elegant bar for mixing drinks without commandeering the kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, European chandeliers and even a charming back staircase that speaks to its estate character.
But there’s one amenity that pulls your focus. Tucked inside the home is a dedicated theater that Bishop called a standout even by luxury-listing standards.
A full-blown theater
In a market where “media room” can mean anything from a sofa and a big screen to a half-finished bonus space, this one aims for the full experience. Looking like the real deal, it comes with tiered seating, curated decor and a true sense of separation from the rest of the house — a destination room meant for long movie nights or a Saturday matinée with the lights down. It even comes with its own name on a shiny marquee sign that reads “Welcome to the Wexford Theater.”

“This one is probably the coolest theater I’ve ever seen,” Bishop said. “Just the way it’s set up and all of the trinkets around and the chairs, the raised seating, and also the way that they’ve closed in the windows, it just feels like a real theater.”
The cinema suite boasts leather recliners, a ceiling-mounted projector and layered, showtime-style lighting. A separate, lounge-like room awaits off to one side for pre-movie snacking and drinks or a place to hang out during intermission. The companion space is dressed in red drapes and framed movie-poster art, with a built-in snack-and-bar station and shelving for candy and concessions.
Before entering the cinema, there’s a back-lit, simulated ticket booth with an art image of Elvis Presley handing guests their movie passes. The signage reads “Family and friends are always free.”
If the theater is the wow moment indoors, the lot is what makes the house feel easy to live with when it’s full of people. The property is perched high on a corner parcel with privacy enhanced by mature trees. Outdoor areas are designed around the idea that a backyard can function like a private resort. There’s a newly resurfaced pool, an outdoor kitchen and manicured landscaping that frames the space rather than overwhelming it.
Enough parking for guests
And then there’s the practical flex: parking. Wexford is known for polished streetscapes and a sense of order — but not every home can comfortably host large gatherings.
“I think that one of the really cool things about the lot is it’s the only house I know of in here that has three driveways,” Bishop said.
That configuration, she said, includes a front circular drive for visitors, another driveway that reaches a rear garage, and a third access point off a different street — a rare kind of redundancy that can matter during large gatherings, multi-car households or holiday parties where curbside space is at a premium.
Upstairs, the primary suite is positioned as a retreat within the larger estate, with peaceful views and a spa-like bath. A sitting room expands the footprint, offering flexible use for a home office, nursery or a private reading space.
The whimsical back staircase leads to the kids’ wing, where the sellers leaned into a Harry Potter-inspired theme, complete with imaginative details even on the ceiling cover to the whole-house fan.
Granite Bay builder Larry Jennings built the home for himself in 1998, Bishop said. Now owned by a Placer County physician, the home last sold for $2.3 million in 2007, according to public property records. The residence is under contract with a contingency.
