Spacious, bright, sun-touched rooms offer elegance throughout this luxurious home. It serves as a fine example of an excellent flowing floor plan and exquisite architectural detail with the design touches of KDA architects and Lawrence Lane. Situated on a fabulous corner lot of more than 7,000 square feet, this gorgeous home offers ocean views, amazing sunsets and the very best of fixtures and luxuries. The convenience extends to its location within walking distance of schools, shops, restaurants, transportation, parks and west portal village.

The beautifully landscaped garden entrance creates a lovely atmosphere with its dramatic fountain of limestone, tile and river rock, all highlighted with warm lighting. Ascend the terrazzo steps to enter the foyer with high ceilings, coat closet and alcove.

The foyer opens into the airy, light-filled living room surrounded by large picture windows framing the views. Parquet floors with inlay accent the dramatic marble, wood-burning fireplace framed with mahogany wood cabinetry. Wiring for audio and/or video entertainment sits ready for all occasions. The adjacent dining room has a bank of windows providing panoramic views of the ocean and the lush San Francisco landscape. You will feel as if you are floating in a cloud.

The kitchen provides everything that a gourmet cook could want: six-burner Dacor range complete with a Grohe pot filler, double ovens, a built-in Dacor microwave, Caesar stone countertops and two sinks, to name just a few features, which are all well-placed for efficiency and comfort. For outdoor grilling, simply step out to the deck with intricate tile work and copper gutters. Placed as the home's social hub and gathering spot, the kitchen invites you to stay awhile with high-peaked ceilings and skylights, limestone tiles, a kitchen office and space for a breakfast nook or other informal meals.

Next, enter the mahogany room in which the walls and ceiling are lined with the warm and distinguished wood. Whether used as a library, study, office family room or fifth bedroom suite, the architectural details are sure to soothe and inspire. The adjacent full bath treats visitors to the glamour of marble tiles. The nearby hallway provides ample opportunity for storage.

The gallery hallway lies opposite the kitchen. With optimal lighting, the area is perfect for art collections or favorite family portraits.

Escape into the master bedroom suite for privacy and relaxation. The dressing room, in addition to the large, cedar-lined closet, provides generous space for both shoe and suit collections – and then some. Enjoy the spa-like master bathroom with the stall shower’s multiple jets and soaking tub, all surrounded by fine tile work. This wing of the house also contains another bedroom. Like the master bedroom, this second bedroom offers hardwood flooring, in addition to new windows and walk-in closets.

You’ll see the same high-quality design in the two bedrooms located on the lower level. Enormous and light-filled, both offer expansive ocean views and large cedar-lined closets. The solid bamboo floors add to the rooms’ Zen-like privacy and calm. One bedroom has an en-suite bathroom complete with steam shower. A hallway bathroom serves the other bedroom.

The mudroom features a long Travertine marble bench and fixtures specifically designed with sports and hobbies in mind. Here, you can store equipment of all types. Or, dump dirty gear and clothes in the adjacent laundry room, where you can also rinse things off with the large sink.

From here, enter the garden. Enjoy the delightful landscaping as you rest on the benches. The four-car, side-by-side garage provides room for cars and much, much more. Outside, the brick-lined driveway serves as additional parking space.

Below, you’ll find an area ideal for a home gym, workshop or playroom. This level also houses the wine cellar and the control panel for the home’s various operating systems. These include the latest in technology and innovation, including:

· Hydronic heating system for the entire house
· Controlled drip irrigation and landscape lighting
· New Marvin Wood Tilt Turn windows throughout
