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.
