Inside, the home balances refined luxury with exceptional functionality, centered around a dream kitchen featuring rich, honed marble countertops, a stylish herringbone tile backsplash, and bespoke custom cabinetry, ambient lighting and a pleasing color palette. Beyond this home's exquisite finishes, it offers a remarkably thoughtful floor plan with abundant hidden storage and sweeping panoramic views of the city, bay and the ocean framed from every major room. Properties boasting this level of craftspacial design and unmatched elevation, rarely hit the market.
