It offers a spacious 4360 sf +/- of space and 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms to add to the appeal. Its dual levels offer panoramic views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, the East Bay, and warm hillside sites. Both levels allow multiple opportunities to relax and enjoy these amenities. Be sure to note the in-ground swimming pool and cabana just below the main house.
The view of the charming entryway, with its unique peaked roof, highlights the stunning Bay area spread out below you that is visible from a majority of the rooms in the home. Three garages allow ample parking when you arrive home.
Upon entering this gracious home, you are greeted with a most amazing open floor plan. From one end of the building to the other, there is generous space, and glowing sunlight flowing in from every window along the outside wall. Dramatic overhead beams highlight the 17-foot ceilings that add a stylish uniqueness. An additional appeal is seen with warm hardwood floors throughout the home.
The true surprise in the home is the floor to ceiling view of the Bay area that is seen out each window. It is a stunning site, no matter what time of day you choose to enjoy it. A real asset are the multiple doors that allow access out to the massive view porch.

A third bedroom carries through the theme of bringing the warm outside light inside, coupled with roomy ceiling space.
This huge bathroom is a handsome showplace. Tall ceilings, double sink space, spacious shower, make up nook, and door to the exterior are just a few of its amenities.
A second bathroom has a super spacious stall shower and a warm and relaxing ambiance.
