About This Home
As of April 2022Splendid mid-century home on a secluded private lot. This property in the Claremont Knolls is sited on a huge .56 acre lot. It is not far up the hill, but features extraordinary views from every rear facing window. The sunset glittering on the bay with twinkling lights from the Bay bridge, and city are breathtaking. The moon, rising above the water is so peaceful and quiet and dreamlike- it is mesmerizing! The indoor outdoor flow of this home is extraordinary- NanaWalls open from the majestic living room onto the enormous level patio. The Living room has a wrap around deck that looks out onto the canyon and the gorgeous view. There are beautiful wood built-ins in the living room, the formal dining room also looks out onto the amazing patio, and is a mid-century delight. There are thoughtful details that are just exquisite throughout the home. The baths are renovated. All the bedrooms are large and light filled.
