About This Property

Now or Never! Set on an extraordinary 3/4+ acre knoll-top parcel with unobstructed panoramic views from the San Rafael Bay, Mt Diablo, Sutro Tower to straight-on Mt. Tam! Rarely does an opportunity come along with such a unique blend of view, lot size, setting, character, and soul, plus exceptional privacy and space to expand. Oaks and oleander line the driveway to this magical setting where the 1949 Mexican-hacienda-style single-level home is wrapped in warm Saltillo tile creating an ideal lifestyle for indoor-outdoor flow. From both inside and outdoors, the panoramic views unfold for miles in almost every direction. Many artistic features grace the property, including mosaic-tile art pieces, stucco walls, an outdoor bar, iron gates, two fountains, and a grand yet gentle staircase descending to the large garden space that offers a canvas for your dream yard. At the bottom of the stairs, don't forget to turn around to admire the tile work on the risers of the steps! A meandering pathway traces the perimeter of this fenced property, enhanced with an array of mature succulents and yuccas and a majestic heritage oak that borders the south-west patio. The grounds are fully fenced for privacy and nice location(s) to add a pool. Inside the main house, Mexican pavers connect all the living areas, and a vaulted beam ceiling and fireplace create an inviting ambiance in the living room and dining area. With windows on three sides of the grand space, there are views from every perspective. French doors open off the dining area to the patio for indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining. A windowed gallery-style hallway connects the main living areas to the three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a stunning south-facing view and opens out to the enchanting sun-drenched patio. A Mexico-inspired tile bathroom with double sinks, and walk-in closet complete the en suite. Separate from the main home, a small casita sits beyond a stucco-walled patio, offering space for guests, a studio/office, or quiet retreat fully apart, yet completely connected to the character of the property. The home is complete with a full laundry room, adjacent to the outdoor kitchen, that can double as a prep and service area when entertaining. A handy shed is located near an area with garden beds for veggies. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home and lot for those seeking serenity and amazing views! Come and experience this extraordinary opportunity.
