About this home

Welcome to modern Zen for the art collector. This level-in property on a ¼ lot is surrounded by lush, low-maintenance landscaping and aimed towards Bay and SF views. This Mid-Century masterpiece blends original character with refined, contemporary updates. Curved walls wrapped in rich wood paneling and a marble-clad fireplace create a warm, sculptural flow, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the views and flood the rooms with sunlight. Living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly, with architectural details that make each room distinct. A wood-plank ceiling adds intimacy to the dining room, and the quiet calm of the designer kitchen, with a Thermador range and two additional ovens, begs you to entertain. Private decks off the primary and dining rooms are perfect for California indoor-outdoor living. The lower-level family room previously housed a second kitchen level, hosting a permitted second unit. Glass doors swing wide from the family room to the large deck. The 10,780 sq ft lot features established gardens (including many succulents and a prolific fig tree), raised beds. An outdoor shower and cabana are remnants of a previous pool on the property. With Mid-Century lusciousness, designer updates, and great walls for art, this home invites you to live beautifully. Views: Downtown

Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Bay & City Views: The property offers stunning Bay, Bridge(s), City Lights, and Water views, prominently framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and aimed towards San Francisco, enhancing its desirability and value.
Unique Mid-Century Architecture & Design: A Mid-Century masterpiece blending original character with refined contemporary updates, featuring distinctive curved walls, rich wood paneling, a marble-clad fireplace, and an aesthetic ideal for art collectors.
Gourmet Designer Kitchen: The designer kitchen is equipped with a high-end Thermador range and two additional ovens, creating a quiet, calm, and highly functional space perfect for entertaining.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Private decks off the primary and dining rooms, along with glass doors from the family room leading to a large deck, facilitate ideal California indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.
ADU Potential / Flexible Lower Level: The lower-level family room previously housed a permitted second unit with a kitchen, offering significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), guest suite, or multi-generational living.

Cons

Potential for System Updates & Lack of Central AC: Built in 1952, while aesthetically updated, the property description does not specify updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical), and the absence of central air conditioning could be a significant drawback for some buyers.
No Functional Pool: The property features 'remnants of a previous pool,' indicating that a functional pool is not present, which might disappoint buyers seeking this amenity or require further investment to clear/repurpose the area.
Extensive Landscaping Maintenance: Despite being described as 'low-maintenance,' the 10,780 sq ft lot with established gardens and raised beds still represents a substantial outdoor area that will require ongoing care and attention from a homeowner.
