INTERNATIONAL LISTINGS Worldwide Luxury Real Estate

Description

A quiet zen oasis on the San Francisco Bay. This exquisite penthouse has spectacular 180 degree north facing views. The south side of the penthouse is nestled in the crown of trees and has very desirable southern exposure. Bright and lots of sun. This location is unique as the EPA no longer allows development on the bayfront.

This property was completely renovated in 2005 by the owner/designer who planned on living here indefinitely. No expense was spared. The design is a sophisticated blend of contemporary, modern and asian design. The renovation includes bamboo flooring and heated slate flooring throughout, a wood burning fireplace, customized home office, skylit gallery, marble finished bathrooms, customized built-in bookcases and cabinetry. There is a spacious deck overlooking a pond and the bay with a customized Japanese container garden and fountain, and a second deck on the south side, with loads of sun and a California native plant container garden.

The property has many hi-tech features, including a very high quality central sound system with a set of speakers in the living room, kitchen and master suite. The system has individual volume controls in each of these rooms and can be run from either an iPod or a standard receiver. It is a wonderful entertaining feature and fills the house with excellent sound quality. There is also a 5:1 stereo surround sound system built-in the second bedroom (currently being used as a den/media room). Every room in the house has it's own zone heat with digital clock thermostats, including the heated slate floors in the kitchen and office. The gourmet kitchen is loaded with hi-tech gadgets including all stainless steel professional grade European appliances, including a warming drawer, super quiet dishwasher, six burner high intensity glass top electric range, glass range hood, oversized stainless sink, high tech refrigerator, oven, microwave and instant hot water dispenser. Every room in the house is equipped with overhead recessed halogen lighting.
