Some homes are so exceptional, it is difficult to find the words to describe them fully. This is one of those rare properties—a captivating blend of historic character and modern luxury, tucked into the Claremont Hills and surrounded by remarkable natural beauty, with views of Mount Tamalpais and the Bay. Exceptionally cared for and meticulously maintained, the home reflects true pride of ownership throughout. Hardwood floors enrich most living spaces, while grand lighting, an elevator and thoughtfully preserved architectural details add elegance and distinction. From the serene primary suite and newly remodeled primary bath watch the fog roll in and ravens soar above the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve. The beautifully updated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring a free-standing seven-burner range with double oven, pantry and a generous quartzite island with its own sink, wine refrigerator and drawer microwave. Casual gathering spaces and gracious formal rooms flow seamlessly together, creating a home equally suited for intimate evenings and memorable celebrations. Walls of windows invite abundant light while framing sweeping views of the Bay, lush gardens, oak trees and majestic redwoods. An impressive ipe deck extends the living space outdoors, offering a spectacular setting for hosting guests on the peaceful hillside. As evening approaches, the property becomes the perfect vantage point for stunning sunsets. Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a trailhead just steps away, this extraordinary residence feels immersed in nature while remaining only minutes from San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Lamorinda. Bordering Regional Park land, the setting is wonderfully private and tranquil, like a secluded retreat far removed from everyday life. This truly special home offers an experience unlike any other.
