A four-bedroom, five-bath home at 88 West Shore Road in Belevdere is listed for $6.4 million.
Susan Hewitt of TRI Coldwell Banker is the listing agent.
Nestled on the west hillside of Belvedere Island, 88 West Shore Road is a light-filled home that features spectacular open views from San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and Richardson Bay to stately Mount Tamalpais.
The two-story formal entryway sets the tone for grand architectural style with soaring ceilings, walnut floors, marble slabs and deep custom moldings. Attention to detail is evident throughout. The doors in this home are a work of art. There are three fireplaces inside the house, each with a distinctive carved marble mantle. An elevator services every level of the home. An elegant wine cellar holds 1000 bottles.
The entry level features a well-appointed Media Room with custom built-ins and a large marble bathroom. The home office with marble fireplace also has direct access to two private patios. The views here, as in the rest of the house, are simply stunning.
Upstairs, the living room and dining rooms are luxurious with coffered 16-foot ceilings and expansive bay windows to take in the view. The stately marble mantle in the living room is a wonderful focal point. Studio Becker designed the gourmet kitchen. The top of the line appliances and enormous storage space will delight the most discerning chef. This sunny and bright space is shared with the family room. The main patio without door fireplace and gas barbeque is accessed here for gracious entertaining. Beautiful landscaped garden areas offer peaceful respite while enjoying the amazing views. Sunsets here are spectacular.
There are four bedrooms in this house, each with marble en-suite bath and generous closet space. The master suite is a luxurious oasis with an enormous marble soaking tub carved from a single stone as well as private outdoor space for sunbathing. There are two guest rooms on the entry level and the fourth bedroom suite is currently being used as a marvelous home gym, but would be equally suitable as an au pair or in-law suite.
This quiet home is in a very special and unique location on Belvedere Island. Located adjacent to San Francisco Bay, there is a saltwater tidal pool at the bottom of the drive which teems with wildlife. It is not unusual to see deer and ducks lounging on its banks. Pelicans feed from the bay as seals frolic in the waves of the bay directly across the street. The sound of gently breaking waves is peaceful and serene. The home is completely private with no neighbors on either side. It is surrounded by natural vegetation: Bay and Oak trees, even an ancient Buckeye with a Great Horned Owl who often visits. There are nearby walking paths along the water’s edge. Downtown Tiburon with its wonderful restaurants and shopping is closeby. Reed Union School District is highly-desirable and its institutions have been designated California Distinguished Schools for their excellent academic programs.
