About this home

A magical hacienda-style hideaway in the Kensington hills. Tucked away from the street and perched overlooking the San Francisco Bay with stunning unobstructed Golden Gate Bridge views, this home with its red-tiled roof, private gardens, and drought-tolerant landscaping is reminiscent of a weekend retreat in romantic Carmel. The living room features a picture window looking out onto the sunny patio and the fragrant garden. The cozy interior features a sculptural fireplace, parquet hardwood floors, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, and an open floor plan. There is a garden nook between the garage and the house with room enough for a bistro table to sit and enjoy the outdoors. At sunset, move to the back garden and take it all in as the sun sinks below the horizon, silhouetting the famous bridge in a blaze of color and tranquility.
