Unique south-facing down-slope lot in a secluded

Peaceful location! Enjoy a forest view and filtered bay views from a mid-century modern-inspired home designed by an awarding-winning bay area architect. Downslope lots are rare and desirable since they are more economical and ecological to build on. Building on a downslope lot avoids costly excavation, major retaining wall construction and challenging drainage issues. The architect designed the home to sit lightly on the land and embrace outdoor living.

The south-facing lot ensures a light-filled house without the heat gain and glare of most hillside lots. House plans feature 4 bedrooms and 4 baths plus a home offce or guest room at street level with a separate entrance. Three terraces with morning, daytime and afternoon sun maximize the opportunity to enjoy the natural surroundings. The tremend ous room has 10 high ceilings and opens to the adjacent terrace with two sets of folding glass doors. The main bedrooms have glass accordion doors as well to combine inside and outside spaces.
