DESCRIPTION:

Enjoy a remarkable synthesis of traditional and contemporary style and comfort at this stunning, Mission-influenced residence overlooking the Saint Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Evoking a sense of being perpetually on vacation, the design aids entertaining on a truly grand scale, as well as intimate daily enjoyment. Throughout the generously proportioned interiors, finely crafted details include inlaid parquet flooring, paneled wainscoting, elaborate crown moldings, and the lavish use of designer stone. The breezy warmth of a tropical island is brought to mind by plantation shutters, richly textured wall and floor coverings, and a bold color palette that contrasts saffron, claret, and cinnabar hues with crisp white trim. Multiple fireplaces, skylights, and beautifully functional built-ins add layers of complexity and drama, while integrated media wiring facilitates completely modern focal points. The granite-finished and professionally equipped chef ’s kitchen is perfectly positioned to serve a variety of formal and informal dining venues inside and out, while also functioning as a social and organizational hub. Other fine amenities include a built-in sound system with speakers in all the main-level living areas, six new flat-panel televisions, a versatile library, a lower-level gym or office, and a large-capacity wine “cave,” plus decks or terraces on all three levels. The 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms are highlighted by a view-oriented master suite with a sumptuous limestone bath. A lower-level bedroom and bath provide flexible options for guest or staff accommodations, complete with separate entry.

Adding architectural definition to the rear entertainment areas, jasmine-adorned pergolas flank a granite-accented promenade with a striking, contemporary fountain plus an in-ground spa accented by fire bowls, while a large cedar sauna beckons year-round pampering. Offering a unique “seaside” retreat just blocks from the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre and within easy reach of both downtown and Marin, this delightful home presents an ideal blend of European sophistication with California casualness.
