Property Description

Experience modern luxury in this completely reimagined contemporary home showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Tamalpais, Angel Island, San Pablo Bay, sparkling city lights, and unforgettable sunsets. Extensively rebuilt from the studs in 2024, this custom residence blends sophisticated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and high-end finishes throughout. Designed to maximize natural light and frame the spectacular views, the open-concept main level features wide-plank maple hardwood floors, oversized skylights, expansive picture windows, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The chef’s kitchen showcases waterfall quartz countertops, custom natural wood cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, and a spacious peninsula that serves as the heart of the home. A dramatic floating staircase with custom cable railings serves as an architectural centerpiece, while the living room is anchored by a modern gas fireplace and framed by the breathtaking views beyond. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and flexibility, the home offers an ideal separation of living spaces with two bedrooms on the main level and a private primary retreat below. The luxurious primary suite features an oversized custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a jetted soaking tub, frameless steam shower, and floating vanity. A versatile wellness, gym, office, or flex space with a double-sided fireplace, wine storage closet, and expansive under-house space further enhance the home’s functionality and flexibility. Additional highlights include owned solar, new roof, central HVAC, tankless water heater, extensive recessed lighting, modern ceiling fans, custom closet systems, beautifully landscaped grounds, a new sewer lateral, and an attached two-car garage. Ideally located with convenient access to BART, Berkeley, San Francisco, parks, shopping, dining, and major commute routes, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy modern luxury living with some of the East Bay’s most captivating views.
