About This Home

As of February 2022

Built in 1961, this residence has been thoughtfully remodeled without losing its mid-century magic. The highlight of the multilevel home is the striking open staircase, fronted by a 20-foot-tall, floor-to-ceiling window that brings in incredible views of both the Bay and Golden Gate bridges — and beyond. Two smart bedrooms, a full bath with fantastic tilework, a laundry/storage room and a flex space that would make a great home office or workshop are found on the first floor. Up the phenomenal staircase is a fireplaced living room as well as a modern eat-in kitchen with gorgeous cabinetry and the dining room. Also on this level is the spacious principal bedroom with an en suite spa bathroom. The expertly terraced and landscaped backyard has room for a BBQ and, perhaps, a hot tub. The viewing deck offers incredible unobstructed views all the way to San Francisco. This home is complete with solar panels and a Tesla battery, bringing the next century perfectly in line with the past.
