DESCRIPTION: A welcoming English entry sets the tone for this special house.

MAIN LEVEL:
The entry stairs lead up to the main foyer, which showcases the dramatic, rich and impressive public rooms. Glass doors open onto the living room, which is paneled in eucalyptus and has been beautifully refinished. Lovely windows and details and a handsome fireplace grace this impressive room. The dining room is equally spectacular, with its bold color and unique cabinetry. It seats a dozen people comfortably.  Two pairs of frosted glass doors conceal an airy, sky-lit office space that runs alongside the dining room and has built-in cabinetry and a separate access to the garden. Large pocket doors open from the dining room onto the piece de resistance, the kitchen with its gigantic island that seats several people as well as a spacious area for casual dining and a full seating area with a gas fireplace, all opening onto the backyard. The big gas Wolf range centers the kitchen, with a large farmhouse sink and two super-quiet Bosch dishwashers.  There are oak cabinets with custom leaded glass. The counters are a warm, easy-care soapstone.  There is additionally a big laundry room right off the kitchen, with a sink and folding space, and a convenient back staircase leads from the seating area to the bedroom level.

The main level has golden bordered hardwood floors throughout, fabulous light fixtures and is wired for sound in every room. It is completed by a very elegant powder room with a checkered floor and a console sink. There is a coat closet and an additional dedicated closet for the sound-system equipment.

BEDROOM LEVEL:
The master suite is sumptuous, with some nice views and plenty of room. It has a very pretty window seat and a very large and well-appointed closet. The lovely bathroom is done in beige limestone and gives a feeling of warmth and sanctuary, with the tub under the window, a separate shower, a separate water closet and two vanities with mirrored medicine cabinets. The second bedroom is delightful and spacious with a good closet and an ensuite bathroom with a pedestal sink and a deep tub and storage. The third bedroom is a beautiful light-filled room that overlooks the yard. It also has a tiled ensuite bathroom with a big seat in the shower.

UPPER LEVEL:
The Golden Gate Bridge-view family room is spectacular, with a granite-topped wet bar and refrigerator, surround-sound speakers and TV, bookshelves, and an inviting window seat. The side bedroom is spacious and well-appointed with an ensuite bathroom with two sinks and a walk-in shower. The other room at this level shares access to the bathroom and is used as an office (or bedroom). It has access to a huge south-facing deck and also has stairs that lead directly to the lower bedroom level.

ENTRY LEVEL:
Leading off the English entry is a fully tiled and beautifully lit and heated area with ample storage, an exercise room with built-in speakers, and a garden access as well as the access to the two-car garage.  The garage has incredibly high ceilings, allowing for installation of an additional carlift if so desired, and also provides a great deal of loft storage.
