A sitting area/bar near the front entry and multiple gathering spaces add warmth and flexibility throughout the home. The dramatic upper-level living room features vaulted wood-beam ceilings, fireplace, and expansive windows showcasing panoramic views of the Bay, Mt. Tamalpais, and greenbelt. The upper-level primary suite includes sweeping views, oversized walk-in closet, spa-like bath, and space ideal for a home office or retreat. Main level includes a secondary primary bedroom plus two additional bedrooms, offering flexible living arrangements. The lower-level bonus/media room has a separate entrance and was previously used as a private piano classroom and studio, making it ideal for recreation, office, gym, creative studio, or possible ADU-style use.
