Northern California Real Estate
Views,location, light and space. This five bedroom five and one half bath with library, den and family room has been meticulously renovated throughout.
Upon entering the grand foyer with soaring ceilings the graceful curved custom staircase by J. DiChristina & Son with custom iron railings sets the tone for the superb craftsmanship that has been achieved throughout the home. The large skylight above the staircase provides perfect lighting.
The living room with French doors across the length of the room offers partial Golden Gate and Bay views. The fireplace with an antique mantle is gas burning. The wide foyer separates the living room and formal dining room. The dining room is ideal for large parties, or small intimate dinners. The walkout terrace opens to a beautiful curved outdoor staircase ascending to the garden. A cozy den with French doors opening to a walk out area is well located off the foyer.
The eat-in kitchen is the heart of the house. The Carrera white marble counters and center island with large oversized porcelain sink is the perfect gathering place. The features of the kitchen include custom cabinetry, two sinks, 60” Wolf range with six gas burners, two grills and two full ovens and a beautiful custom hood by Abbaka. In addition there is a Gagganau wall oven with pizza stone and rotisserie. The refrigerator and freezer are side-by-side Sub-Zeros. There is a separate pantry, storage for china and a full laundry room directly off the kitchen with deep sink and lots of cabinets for storage.
A well located powder room completes this level.
The gracefully curved staircase ascends to the spacious and elegant hallway. Located at the front of the house is the master bedroom with French doors across the length of the west wall opening to sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay. The fireplace with the antique mantle provides the perfect setting for a quiet evening at home reading or watching T.V. The master bath with marble floors has a large soaking tub, walk-in shower, custom cabinets with pullout drawers, heated towel bar, radiant heated floors, two retractable skylights and a custom privacy window by Sonoma glass artist Gordon Heuther.
Also on this level are two more bedrooms and two full baths. One of the bedrooms has a large walkout terrace overlooking the garden and views of the bay and downtown. Both bathrooms have radiant heated floors.
The Library/office includes custom walnut cabinetry and French doors opening to a walkout terrace providing a warm and comforting atmosphere.
This bedroom has a large walk out terrace with views from the Golden Gate Bridge to downtown and is currently being used as a sunroom and television room. The full bath has a retractable skylight. There is a built-in refrigerator and entertainment center.
From the kitchen you descend the staircase where large southeast facing windows shed abundant light into a spacious family room which has lots of room for media, games, and entertaining. There is a refrigerator, dishwasher and sink. This room opens out to the limestone patio/garden which has a Viking built-in gas grill with rotisserie, and great space for parties. This fifth bedroom (currently being used as an exercise room) completes this floor and is a perfect au pair room with private entrance. There is a full bath and large closet.
