Remarks

Set on a private, gated .86 acres of stunningly landscaped grounds, this exceptional contemporary residence was extensively remodeled to perfection in 2017. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls throughout fill the interior spaces with natural light and create a seamless connection to the serene outdoors. A gracious foyer leads to an elegant living and dining room ensemble wrapped in walls of glass, with a chic fireplace adding warmth and intimacy. The amazing chefs kitchen is anchored by a dramatic center island, ample cabinetry, and generous counter space. Huge sliding glass doors open to a large deck, creating an idyllic setting for morning coffee, dining, or relaxed entertaining. The primary suite features an expansive glass wall with sliding door, a romantic fireplace, huge walk-in closet, and remote-controlled blinds. Two additional bedrooms with dedicated bathrooms offer flexibility, with one beautifully arranged as an office with custom cabinetry and desks. Outside, majestic trees, meandering creek, incredible landscaping, expansive synthetic turf, and wrap-around decking create a truly magical park setting. Extending from El Cerrito to Rockridge Drive, this property offers a rare sanctuary where architecture, light, landscape, and contemporary luxury exist in effortless harmony.
