Bay, city skyline, and canyon views from nearly every room.

The open main level flows from the chef's kitchen with stone counters and a center island through the dining area to a sunken living room with fireplace, all opening to a full-length view deck made for long dinners that run past sunset. A bedroom, full bath, and powder room on this level work for guests or a home office. Downstairs, a split-level design balances togetherness and privacy. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and private deck over the Bay — morning coffee with the water in front of you.
