About This Home

As of November 2024

Perched on the crest of Panoramic Hill, this early Third Bay Region residence (think Sea Ranch in the East Bay) is an exceedingly rare single family design by noted local architect John Christian Belz. Rustic on the outside and refined within, it epitomizes the Third Bay notion of the home as a geode whose simple exterior belies the wonders found inside. Main house is a reverse floorplan with 3 beds, 1.5 baths. Cozy detached ADU is an additional 1 bed, 1 bath. Come bask in the views after which Panoramic Hill was named! Home is perfectly positioned to look out over the Campanile toward the bay, SF, and the Golden Gate.
