About This Home

As of June 2020

WOW! A coveted mid-century modern home designed by renowned Bay Area architect Harry A. Bruno! This hillside haven is nestled among the canyon’s tree tops and boasts stunning views of three of the bay's bridges! Snuggle up in the breakfast nook with a beverage and gaze through the expansive windows to watch the blanket of morning fog roll back, revealing the canyon beneath. Or sit on the deck in the late afternoon and watch as the setting sun illuminates the sky and reflects its brilliance on the bay’s water below. This home has been meticulously updated and has a huge deck for entertaining, open floor plan, 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom, a full bath and a large family room downstairs with its own entrance. Let this sanctuary home beckon you in to relax and unwind. Welcome home!
