SEA CLIFF HOME

300 Sea Cliff

Vitrual Tour


Enhanced by world-class views, this Sea Cliff home enjoys an updated English country ambiance with one of the largest rear gardens in the neighborhood. The feeling is quintessential Sea Cliff-exclusivity and prestige among other multimillion-dollar estates, a picture-perfect Golden Gate Bridge backdrop, and a tasteful blend of period styling and modern function. The circa 1913 home unfolds throughout four levels, highlighted by a granite-finished chef's kitchen, exquisite paneled library, lavish master suite, Tuscan-themed wine cellar and sunny family media areas.
Accommodations include 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half-baths, a bright fitness studio, plus a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath au pair/guest quarters, and lower level playroom. On the entry level, classic formal rooms boast rich plaster moldings and Old World refinement. Moving to the kitchen, you will realize state-of-the-art performance equally suited for grand catered events or casual family moments. The completely redone kitchen transitions to a bright breakfast room and the rear terrace just beyond. Southern exposure is key to this wing of the home, as morning light flows in from the expansive and private garden. The mid-level of the home hosts the master suite, a warm sanctuary with its own fireplace, double marble baths, and a bay window "daybed" nook that surveys the Golden Gate. Two south-facing family bedrooms and a generous family bath complete this level.
Outstanding attention to custom detail is on display in the paneled top floor library. A sophisticated executive domain, the room is crafted of rich mahogany. Windows present a glorious vision of the Pacific Ocean, Marin Headlands, and the uninterrupted Golden Gate Bridge. On the lower level, the wide range of lifestyle offerings continues-from a privately accessed aupair suite, to the Tuscan wine vault, and playroom with direct garden access. Sea Cliff is a world unto itself-a scenic enclave of privacy, prestige and rare natural beauty.
