Backdropped by Golden Gate Bridge and views of the bay, this artfully renovated home merges classic Mid-Century lines with refinished hardwoods to deliver the ultimate livable luxury. Guests are greeted by a formal living room with cozy fireplace and oversized windows. Anchored by a brick fireplace, a voluminous family room spills into an alfresco patio via glass sliders. An ornately tiled kitchen showcases S/S appliances, quartz counters, and tile backsplash, along with a sunny window seat and island. Three tranquil bedrooms are tucked beyond the living area, including a gracious primary with walk-in closet and lavish ensuite bath. Newly reimagined with a lower-level media room, the plushily carpeted area is poised for visiting in-laws. Finished with a detached home-office and 2-car garage, this coveted address is zoned for Madera Elementary, located near Arlington Park/Camp Herms, and offers easy access to Kensington Village, Solano Avenue, and highway 80 for city-bound commutes. Sunday Open 1/26 and 2/2 2-4:30pm.
