Overview

This fine residence evokes southern Spain from the classic red tiled roof to the play of light and shadow on the planes of the terracotta facade. The fine wrought-iron work and lantern lighting reflect a touch of the Moorish influence. The exquisite landscaping from curbside and along the gated herringbone brick walkway to the formal courtyard entry offers a warm and inviting welcome.

The extraordinary views from the public rooms and master suite encompass the western perspective of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin headlands to Baker Beach and the Presidio. The changing colors of the ocean and sky from dawn to dusk provide a living palette.

Main Level

Gracious split levels on the main floor define the public spaces. Tall ceilings and doorways, expansive picture windows, custom lighting and polished dark hardwood floors exude an aura of quiet elegance.

The elegant ENTRANCE HALL features a tall wood carved door with arched transom and striking cross barrel vaulted ceiling with chandelier.

Step into the dramatic view LIVING ROOM with tall beamed ceiling and handsome carved stone fireplace. Delicate wall sconces provide intimate lighting while professional gallery lighting focuses on large canvases. Three pairs of tall arched French doors open to the expansive balcony from which to enjoy the ocean breeze and views of the Bridge and Marin headlands.

A gracious terrazzo staircase leads to the exquisitely landscaped PATIO & GARDEN. Herringbone brick and gravel contrast the soft textures of sculptured green and silver hued plantings and flowering bushes. The path leads to the secluded pergola, a quiet place to enjoy the stunning view and sounds of the surf.

Returning to the public rooms, the elegant DINING ROOM comfortably seats a large dinner party. An expanse of mirrors reflects two oversized Moorish lanterns and the impressive water view.

The well laid out KITCHEN is designed for family style living. White baker's marble counters, custom white enamel cabinetry (some with glass fronts) and large PANTRY provide efficient work and storage spaces. The built-in leather bench seating in the BREAKFAST AREA provides a cozy corner for daily dining and opens to the large family room.
