Whoever said that “the best views of San Francisco are from Oakland” perhaps had this home in mind. Adjacent to Piedmont, it sits on a hillside with spectacular views across the Bay: Marin, SF and the Peninsula. A private driveway leads through a gate to the end of a cul-de-sac. This almost-new   home occupies 3 levels. The main level looks out to the City and Bay, and features elevated ceilings and access to a large terrace. The adjacent dining room also commands incomparable views. The kitchen has oversized marble countertops and an island, elite appliances, custom glass-enclosed cabinetry, butler’s pantry, wet bar and breakfast nook. The principal suite is upstairs, with a fireplace, large walk-in closet, custom cabinetry, oversized shower, laundry facilities and a freestanding tub. A spacious deck invites afternoon sun and offers exceptional views. The three other bedrooms sit on the lowest level, each under elevated ceilings with its own bathroom and pastoral views. This floor has a media room with an adjoining wet bar, its own laundry and another spacious deck. The courtyard adjacent to the front door is another entertainment venue, with a built-in barbecue and gas firepit. Solar panels and a battery system keep utility costs low, and a security system protects the home.
