Welcome to modern Zen for the art collector. This level-in property on a ¼ lot is surrounded by lush, low-maintenance landscaping and aimed towards Bay and SF views. This Mid-Century masterpiece blends original character with refined, contemporary updates. Curved walls wrapped in rich wood paneling and a marble-clad fireplace create a warm, sculptural flow, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the views and flood the rooms with sunlight. Living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly, with architectural details that make each room distinct. A wood-plank ceiling adds intimacy to the dining room, and the quiet calm of the designer kitchen, with a Thermador range and two additional ovens, begs you to entertain. Private decks off the primary and dining rooms are perfect for California indoor-outdoor living. The lower-level family room previously housed a second kitchen level, hosting a permitted second unit. Glass doors swing wide from the family room to the large deck. The 10,780 sq ft lot features established gardens (including many succulents and a prolific fig tree), raised beds. An outdoor shower and cabana are remnants of a previous pool on the property. With Mid-Century lusciousness, designer updates, and great walls for art, this home invites you to live beautifully.
