Elegance meets functionality, living in this beautifully upgraded and meticulously maintained c.1940s home. Tucked behind a private gate, enter a lush courtyard garden—designed to attract birds, butterflies, and bees—sets a peaceful tone. The entry showcases stunning leaded glass doors by acclaimed artist Theodore Ellison. Inside, panoramic views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and beyond steal the show. Spanning approx. 2,728 sq ft over three levels, the home blends classic charm with modern livability. A sunlit living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a gas fireplace. Formal dining room and the chef’s kitchen opens seamlessly to the garden. The entry-level includes a serene bedroom with garden access and a full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with sweeping views, a spa-like bath, and dual walk-in closets. The lower level features a versatile entertainment room with built-ins fit for a library, two bedrooms (one used as a gym), and a full bath. Deep naturalized garden and nice shed. Solar electric and a two car garage. Zoned for Madera School—prime location! Did I mention the view? Wow!
