MODERN MID-CENTURY MASTERPIECE

Unique view home on a double lot, completely detached and masterfully renovated with panache and practicality in equal measure. Handsome modern wood-slatted fence and bamboo “wall” shields the entire property from the street providing privacy and seclusion. Open the gate to an open-air breezeway entry “hall” that leads to a dramatic mirrored front door. The public space truly feels like it is miles above the city, floating above and perfect for entertaining large and small parties. 

Enormous open living room/dining room is bordered by a wall of floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors looking west all the way to Twin Peaks - spectacular sunsets! Newly upholstered 45’ sunken living room conversation pit makes for glamorous cocktail parties or family fun. Skylit kitchen is deftly designed to be both open and separate; massive island with room for casual dining; distinct wood cabinetry all around; windowed backsplash showcasing unique mural art on the wall beyond. An office (or den or 4th bedroom) is on the other side of the living room taking advantage of the views. Large entry hall closet and pristine half-bath/laundry room complete the public areas.

The private wing is equally thoughtful. Divided by a central hall with yet another huge skylight, on one side is an ample primary bedroom opening to a large private patio - with fire pit - enclosed by a bamboo “forest.” Ensuite bathroom with gigantic skylit shower and soaking tub; tastefully outfitted walk-in closet. On the other side, two additional generous bedrooms share a vintage bath and a connecting secret hallway with more built-in storage. 

Downstairs is a separate very private one-bedroom apartment with hillside views and nicely outfitted kitchen; perfect for guests, au pair, office or craft studio. On the same level is an extra deep, extra wide garage that can accommodate 4+ cars and massive storage. Flat back yard, ready for a makeover, is accessed either from the garage or from the front patio.
