Property Description

A hilltop haven encased in floor-to-ceiling glass, this Mid-Century stunner boasts soaring ceilings, seamless indoor/outdoor flow, and panoramic vistas. A light-soaked formal living room is the crown jewel, with 12-foot ceilings, custom built-ins, a cozy fireplace, and bank of walled glass that frames picturesque views. An impeccably updated kitchen with quartz counters and S/S appliances features a Miele in-cabinet coffee maker. Nearby, enormous glass doors pivot outward revealing a sun-soaked patio with vibrant bougainvillea, sparkling pool, and hot tub with views of the bay. The north wing features 3 gracious bedrooms, providing a private retreat separate from the main living areas. Upstairs, an expansive primary suite evokes an air of luxury with private balcony, ensuite bath with steam shower and radiant floor heating, walk-in closet, and study. An idyllic retreat minutes to downtown, this one-of-a-kind property offers easy access to Highway 80 for convenient city-bound commutes.
