The Structure

Phenomenal home originally designed by famed architect William Wurster. From nearly every corner of the house, Bay views are framed by picture windows, and dramatic open-beam ceilings. This artistic & elegant house has been thoughtfully renewed and expanded over many years by the owners and their architects with high-quality materials and utmost care which is evident throughout. 

The approximate 3,030 sqft home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a living room, a den/potential fourth bedroom, and a lower level family room with kitchenette/guest suite, and a cozy downstairs home office with tiled floor. Plentiful parking in the garage plus dedicated parking on the property and private road complete the alluring picture. 

Stroll through the upper private gate and arrive at an adobe-walled courtyard garden sheltered from the wind. As you step into the patterned brick courtyard, envision leisurely afternoons spent sipping tea and enjoying the beauty of your surroundings.  This delightful, verdant garden space opens to the living room, kitchen and second bedroom for fabulous indoor-outdoor living, further enriched with a view of the Bay passing through the large windows of the house. 

Enter the gorgeous living room, centered by a dramatic copper fireplace, and panoramic vistas of the Bay, the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate and Mt Tam. The dining area and kitchen are bathed in light and stunning views. This home truly connects you to nature with its dazzling Bay waters, birdlife, honking seals, and the broad panoramas of clouds and sunsets. 

The airy, spacious kitchen with abundant natural light is the heart of the home. Ample custom cabinets and granite counter space provides a wonderful work area, complete with an upholstered breakfast booth. A charming den with a garden view and custom built-ins is accessed off the kitchen for relaxing or watching movies. It could be a second home office or a potential fourth bedroom 

The primary suite retreat with vaulted ceilings, dramatic copper-belted doors, and an abundance of closet space, has splendid vistas of the bay and garden below. Step through the French doors onto the expansive deck and gaze at the natural beauty that surrounds you, including Mount Tamalpais in the distance. Fall asleep with the rolling waves from the beach below. An additional bedroom opening to the courtyard, along with a hall bath offers plenty of space for family or guests on the upper level. 

Downstairs, the family room provides a generous guest suite complete with kitchenette, a full bath and access to the garden leading to the bay. The kitchenette is ideal for hosting guests on the view deck, after dipping toes in the bay on a hot day, or for cocktails while taking in the magnificent sunsets.
