An eighteen-foot, two story formal entrance hall provides visitors a first look into the home’s grand interior. The centerpiece of the foyer is a stunning crystal chandelier, and a dramatic winding staircase leading to the home’s upper level. Four of the home’s six bedrooms are located on this first level, including an expansive primary bedroom suite with oversized windows designed to take full advantage of the magnificent views of the water, San Francisco, and distant hills. Situated at the end of a hallway, the suite features an oak floor, a custom-built cherry bookshelf/entertainment center, one walk-in closet plus two additional closets, and sliding doors that open to a backyard and patio facing the water. The spacious ensuite bathroom includes an oversized, granite-topped dual vanity, a jetted soaking tub and a walk-in shower with a steam function. Three additional bedrooms on this level provide versatile uses; one bedroom features handsome, custom-crafted office furnishings, another bedroom is accented with wainscot paneling, while a large bedroom off the entrance hall provides convenient privacy for visiting guests or family. Two additional spacious bedrooms are located upstairs, both with tastefully remodeled ensuite bathrooms. All bedrooms in the home have sophisticated Shade Store retractable motorized shades, California Closet organizers, and individual control panels linked to a Control 4 home automation system with smart features.

The home’s family living and entertaining spaces are located on the second level, accessed from a first floor elevator or the center hall staircase. Intentionally designed to capture the home’s unparalleled views from this upper story, this open, sun-drenched space is an entertainer’s dream. The family/living room features a visually striking coffered ceiling, and is surrounded by walls of windows facing the water. The dining room includes the magnificent views, plus built-in china cabinets over a marble topped sideboard with Miele warming drawers. The kitchen is a natural gathering place, filled with every conceivable high-end amenity for both professional and casual cooks. Appliances include a Wolf double range, a Sub-Zero PRO series refrigerator, and two Miele Futura Diamond dishwashers. A beautiful decorative range hood, abundant kitchen storage, marble counters, a walk-in pantry adjacent to a temperature-controlled wine room, and a center island that comfortably seats six people complete this fabulous kitchen. A half bathroom sits between the public rooms and the bedrooms, adjacent to a full laundry room with a folding area and two sets of Miele washers and dryers.

This is an extraordinary home, located in a rarely available waterfront site in Alameda’s sought-after Harbor Bay Isle. Superlatives don’t come close to conveying the many attributes of this special home, one that’s truly the epitome of elegance and luxury.
