About This Home
As of October 2024An architectural dream! This exquisite home was designed by the notable modernist Paul Hammarberg, one of the Bay Area’s most successful Mid-century Modern architects. Clean elegant lines and a thoughtful floor plan take advantage of the panoramic bay & garden views. Enter through the front gate into a private sheltered garden patio, perfect for alfresco enjoyment or your morning coffee. The owners have carefully preserved original elements & updated and remodeled the residence to meet modern standards and provide the utmost comfort. Sited on over 1/4 acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the structure exemplifies Midcentury style. Both levels of the home feature walls of windows/doors framing gorgeous views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, and sparkling blue bay. The main level features the recently remodeled kitchen which has been meticulously designed, w/a modern tile backsplash, custom transom skylight above the sink & proline stainless steel appliances, marble/modern wood countertops, sleek cabinetry, and bar stool seating. Built-in banquet & a stylish wet bar. An expansive living room, handsome fireplace with built-ins, and mahogany paneling. 4BR/4BA- All bathrooms are remodeled and gorgeous. One of the 4 BR is a legal ADU! Beautiful grounds! Prime Loc!
