A curving drive leads down to a motor court faced by the house and a detached 3 car garage housing 2 EV chargers and 2 Tesla Power Walls. The finely landscaped grounds offer a bit of everything, from a flat, grassy back yard with a renovated Mediterranean pool with sweeping views of the Bay, to an outdoor bar overlooking a Sauvignon Blanc vineyard with a view of Oakland.

Inside, large rooms and high ceilings make the home feel spacious while still having separate rooms to accommodate different activities. This home easily accommodates large families or gatherings. Many of the original design elements of high beamed ceilings and stain grade wood trim have been retained, and extensive use of Spanish tile for flooring and stairs have been added.

This home has been carefully updated and remodeled by the current owners, both structurally and cosmetically, during their time here, embracing the original architecture and enhancing the Spanish architectural theme, while adding more modern finishes and features with recently remodeled baths and kitchen using designer finishes and lighting. A ground floor bedroom wing features a large office that can also be a guest room, two bedroom suites with shower and tub, and an additional bedroom with a hall bath.

A large formal living room features a stone and tile fireplace with a brass hood that rises to the beamed ceiling. Extensive use Saltillo tile on the main level ties the house together. Adjacent to the living room, a spacious formal dining room is flooded with light from a mirrored skylight, and guests will enjoy the view toward Oakland out the picture window. Opening to both rooms, the remodeled kitchen features newer commercial grade appliances, a built in Miele coffee station, a steam oven and a bar seating 5-7 for informal meals. The kitchen overlooks the back yard and pool area, and leads to an outdoor patio with a Barbecue and overhead space heaters for chilly evenings.

The base of the tower is a large family room with vaulted beamed ceilings that includes a built in home theater system, picture windows overlooking the vineyard and a massive stone fireplace. At the back of the room, the bar features a built in tap, two beverage fridges, a freezer, a wine cellar that can hold more than 400 bottes, and a pass through window out to the pool area. Just adjacent is a remodeled full bathroom for wet swimmers before they come into the house.

Above the family room and bar is the main suite of the house. The generously sized bedroom includes two walk in closets and a unique bath. The soaking tub is cantilevered off the side of the house with windows and views on three sides. Around the corner, the walk in shower is similarly designed. What a lovely way to start the day!

Atop the tower, an office with windows and built in bookshelves on three sides, and a fireplace on the fourth provides a compelling workspace. The views will inspire creativity and a fire on dark winter days will give the perfect environment for that next big idea or business model.

Outside, the covered patio off the kitchen overlooks the flat back yard, with sweeping views of the Bay. A fire pit and seating area continues the enjoyment of the outdoors into the night. During hot days, the sparkling pool is particularly inviting.
