Property Description

Here even the trees step aside to let the epic Bay views take command. It is rare to have a grove of redwood and pine trees paired with views and such wonderful light. The house was designed by local architect Claude Stoller using simple lines to enhance its setting and embrace the views and natural landscape. Claude Stoller also utilized passive solar ingenuity. Recent design updates were sensitive to Stoller's connection to nature. The entry was dressed elegantly by adding a feature wall of tree-motif wallpaper and a branching light fixture. The kitchen backsplash repeats the theme with a marble leaf mosaic and punch of pear yellow. The master bathroom was reimagined to evoke the zen quality of bamboo. The house is simple and yet grande. With three separate living rooms, five bedrooms, three baths and two half baths, there is space here and more to share. Great separation of space sets two bedrooms on a separate wing. The house enjoys a rare privacy enhanced by the long driveway.
