Description
Welcome to a true masterpiece, an impressive work of inspired design by renowned architect John Marsh Davis. Recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and toured as a Property of Significance for The Cultural Landscape Foundation, this substantial home, built in 1965 for the current owners, was designed to last for generations. Tucked discreetly on a south-facing hillside set amongst soaring oaks and surrounded by Tomas Church designed terraced gardens, this home defines indoor/outdoor living. Two 14 ft high sliding glass doors fill the home's eastern wall and connect the garden and living room. When the wall is open the home feels like a floating pavilion at grand scale and the line between indoors and outdoors is blurred. The pavilion is flanked by soaring bookcases which discreetly hide large pocket doors which, when closed, divide the spaces for privacy. There are expansive views of Mt. Tam from the west facing side of the home and from the many exterior decks. An additional 19,000 sq.ft. parcel is included in the sale with plenty of space to add a pool, guest house or ADU. This property is ideal for a visionary and inspired buyer with the imagination and ambition to improve and update what currently exists. Located in the Del Mesa neighborhood of Kentfield, Ross Schools.
