a private oasis designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, inspired by the understated elegance of luxury hospitality. thoughtfully reimagined, this residence blends refined contemporary design with exceptional comfort, functionality, and a true sense of retreat.
the home offers five bedrooms and four full and two half bathrooms, including three en-suite retreats. each bathroom is appointed with sophisticated finishes and clean modern fixtures. the primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring a spa-like bathroom with an expansive multi-head shower, steam feature, built-in bench, and a calm, restorative atmosphere.
at the center of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both striking and highly functional, appointed with premium wolf, sub-zero, and miele appliances, dual wine refrigerators, and custom cabinetry. designed for both cooking and gathering, it flows effortlessly into the main living spaces and out to the expansive deck.
outdoor living is a defining feature. a resort-inspired courtyard unfolds with thermory decking, a fire pit lounge, and multiple areas for entertaining and relaxation, including a basketball court and climbing wall. a private plunge pool/spa and cabana-style seating overlook the bay, creating a serene, retreat-like setting that feels both playful and elevated.
the living room is dramatic yet inviting, anchored by a nearly 30-foot-wide window wall that fills the space with natural light while framing views of the landscaped grounds, downtown oakland, and san francisco. a formal dining room comfortably accommodates large gatherings, while three dedicated workspaces—including a spacious office and two library/study niches with custom built-ins—support the needs of modern living.
originally designed by noted architect bennett christopherson and later refined by thornton weiler, the home was extensively rebuilt in 2021 by buestad construction. the grounds were reimagined by award-winning landscape architect david thorne, creating a seamless integration of architecture and landscape.
in addition to the main living areas, a finished lower level offers a large entertaining room, gym, bathroom, wine room, and generous storage—adding flexibility to a home that is as functional as it is beautifully conceived.
rarely does a home achieve this level of architectural clarity, privacy, and livability—where thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a true sense of escape come together so effortlessly.
