Hillside House … Spectacular Views, Amazing Sunsets, Privacy … and a wonderful garden
Astonishing Views!
Glorious views from this spectacular Mid-Century Modern perched on an East Bay hillside overlooking San Francisco: Walls of windows open to light & sky beyond, and to: Golden Gate & San Francisco Bay Bridges; Mt. Tamalpais; Marin Headlands; Angel & Alcatraz Islands; City Lights & Sparkling Bay Waters; Pink & Purple Sunsets 

Incredible Flow!

Tri-level living with open & easy transitions while maintaining privacy between floors; First Level: a welcoming entry space with bench seating & large family room with full bath; garden entry; Main Living Level: open plan living room & dining area; view terrace overlooking the bay; raised hearth fireplace & gas starter; half-bath; large kitchen created in 2003; Top Level: Four Bedrooms (includes master retreat); two full baths; laundry

 

Kitchen as Theatre!

Chef’s kitchen & a caterer’s dream! Three work stations!

Amazing Gardens!

The 6,086 sq.ft. lot to the North is included in sale. Planet Horticulture created a botanical paradise on the site of what was once a barren dry hillside. Surely this is one of the great gardens of the San Francisco Bay Area; three hundred species from all over the world bloom & thrive here during every season, & a walk up the winding path to the view meadow above informs, surprises & delights at every turn. Featured in 2011’s Bay Friendly Garden Tour.
