About This Home

As of October 2017

Designed by architect John Hans Ostwald this mid-century masterpiece offers expansive and extraordinary views of the entire San Francisco Bay. The home’s location and architecture strike a masterful balance between the surrounding urban and the natural landscapes. Perched on a Panoramic Hill cul-de-sac and backing Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve it offers unparalleled privacy and serenity. The living room has cathedral ceilings with three sides of glass bringing the outside in and moving your sightline through to the spectacular vistas. A wrap around deck with cantilevered steel beam resembles the prow of a ship and juts out towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Lovely living spaces, spacious bedrooms with ample storage, lower level au-pair suite, two-car garage and numerous landscaped garden or patio spaces to enjoy; making for a wonderful and once in a lifetime opportunity. Three additional adjacent lots are being sold with this home.
