Rare Chance to Own an Iconic Hilltop with nearly 1.5 acres of tranquility and dreamlike views over Contra Costa Briones. The beauty of this location is only exceeded by the residence itself seamlessly blending East-West design; it features an inviting atrium with a tranquil koi pond and overlooking meditation room. The living room and formal dining room are works of unparalleled beauty. Flooded in natural light, a rarity for the area, the soaring ceilings and a dark stone hearth entice. The chef's kitchen, complete with a quartzite island, merges with an expansive wrap-around deck leading to the pool, jacuzzi, and gazeboa sanctuary enveloped by flowers and trees. The spacious great room is perfect for entertaining, flowing seamlessly to al fresco dining under the stars. Kodama's architectural brilliance shines through in the multi-level primary suite with luxurious spa-like bathroom. A second suite anchors that wing, while 3 more spacious bedrooms, each with their own deck access, allow spectacular views. The sculpture garden can become your dream yard with endless possibilities. A three-car garage with ample parking and top-ranked schools just minutes away. Few will ever have a chance to experience a home of this size, elegant simplicity, privacy and remarkable design.
