A rare expression of modern California elegance, this re-imagined estate perched above the coveted Sun Valley neighborhood captures the essence of elevated Marin living. Privately set on 1.25 acres of curated grounds, the residence unfolds as a secluded sanctuary. Walls of glass frame cinematic Mt. Tam views in every direction, while the landscape evokes a boutique resort with sun-drenched pool, bocce court, heritage oak trees, sculptural gardens, and intimate moments of stillness throughout. The heart of the home opens to a dramatic extended deck and refined outdoor lounge, creating a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior that is equally suited for sophisticated entertaining or quiet, restorative living. Thoughtfully transformed in 2018/19, the home has been elevated to near-new standards with a complete systems overhaul and a design-forward reconfiguration of space. Structural enhancements, including steel moment frame and shear wall integration, offer a rare blend of beauty and integrity. Five en-suite bedrooms and a series of elegant living spaces that include a formal dining, designer kitchen, private office, gym, unified by clean lines, natural light, and timeless materials. Three fireplaces add warmth and intimacy, while over 600 sq ft of climatized storage ensures effortless livability. Polished, private, and undeniably striking. Do not miss this one!
