<strong>Distinctive Mid-Century Architectural Jewel </strong> For the first time in 55 years, this stately, custom-built residence in one of the East Bay’s most sought-after neighborhoods is ready for its next steward. Unique, dramatic Mid-century design elements are highlighted through the vaulted, knotty wood plank ceilings and beams in most rooms, wooden slat paneled walls, crown molding with indirect lighting, and signature walls of glass showcasing expansive Golden Gate Bridge and Bay views. The well-appointed spaces have been thoughtfully restored and refreshed, keeping with period-era details. You’ll love the easy, natural flow of the home, with each inviting space offering inspiration. The living room with 12’ vaulted, beamed ceilings showcases the magnificent views, capturing the Bay, downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Tamalpais. Views are enjoyed inside and out, with a cable railing deck to enjoy martinis at sunset. The floor-to-ceiling windows encompass two of the living room walls, with glass doors accessing the outdoors. The classic brick surround fireplace is framed by an impressive mantle, with discrete wrap-around room lighting concealed behind accent molding, creating ambiance. Wander into the kitchen, where you’ll find a dedicated home office work or study space. Next, continuous quartz countertops framed by the original simple plywood cabinetry, restored with color to perfection. Cooking is a chef’s delight, with a BlueStar 6-burner gas stove accented by contemporary backsplash tile and a massive, stainless steel hood. The kitchen overlooks the courtyard, and the counters wrap around to the dining area, offering a practical buffet-style presentation when entertaining guests, along with the cocktail bar tucked away in an alcove. The open-concept kitchen flows effortlessly to the dining room, secondary living room, and outdoor courtyard. The “L” shaped house design offers a private patio space, extending the home’s living space outdoors. A special feature of this courtyard is being able to see through the home - through the two walls of glass - to the Golden Gate Bridge. The dining and secondary living rooms have soaring, 14’ high wood plank ceilings with a huge skylight, and another fireplace anchoring the room. Adjacent to the wood-burning fireplace is a vintage rotisserie grill, as historically featured in Sunset Magazine. Additional retro details include a decorative window bookended at the top and bottom by yellow textured “bottle bottom” glass, with a straight-on view of the Golden Gate Bridge. There is also a wall of built-ins that originally housed the hi-fi record and stereo system, including hidden speakers. Up a few stairs is a short hall separated by two nearly identical bedrooms, both feature vaulted knotty wood plank ceilings with beams, built-in desks, and ample closet space. These bedrooms share a full bathroom accessed via pocket doors. The updated bathroom features a double sink vanity with a stone top and a newly tiled shower enclosure. The primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings and boasts jaw-dropping views through a wall of glass. There are three closets, plus custom clothing built-in drawers and shelves, keeping with the era of minimalism. Modern vanity features dual sinks and a marble countertop, and you’ll relish the elegant and spacious, spa-like shower. The lower level has a separate entrance, and offers endless possibilities; there is a 4th bedroom, which has a spacious closet with a built-in desk and workspace spanning the wall with the view, and has a full en-suite bathroom. There are two bonus spaces on this level, one that makes for a nice sitting room and the other could be for hobbies or a home office. There is tons of storage throughout the house, plus the garage affords two cars. Last but not least is the incredible backyard. Meandering paths flow past mature fruit trees, including fig, apple, and lemon trees. Multiple patios, built-in seating benches, and entertaining opportunities await, with most of the backyard level and accessible, and gardening potential galore. Located in an enclave of distinct and unique Mid-century homes, this home invites you to settle in and stay.
