Mid-century modern architectural masterpiece privately tucked behind a gated driveway featuring 3964 sqft an oasis of 1.12 acres of land (ideal for urban farming), beautiful bay views, expansive level patios, walls of glass, 5 bedrooms (4 on one level, incl primary suite), 4 baths, bonus rooms, huge family room, and ample off-street parking for 6+ vehicles. A custom-designed estate built for the family of an engineer, this is the first time ever this home is available for sale. Once inside the property’s gate, past the carports and parking spaces, one enters a covered breezeway leading to the expansive front patios and the dramatic level-in front door and glass entry. The main floor is sun-washed and open, enjoying walls of wood and glass, soaring ceilings, fireplaces, wrap-around decks, vintage finishes and lighting–an ideal space for entertaining and enjoying the bay views and the very best in California indoor-outdoor living. 4 bedrooms grace this level including the primary suite with spacious closets and sunset bay views. Natural poured concrete steps of the floating staircase lead down to the massive family room, storage areas, bonus rooms and 5th bedroom with separate entrance, ideal for guests. With some imagination, the lower level could be a sizable private apartment.
