Tucked up a private drive in the Claremont Hills, this exquisite 4BR/2.5 BA home blends modern elegance with breathtaking bay views. Southwest-facing windows flood the home with sunlight, and multiple decks, terraces and a landscaped garden offer peaceful spaces for relaxation.

Spa-inspired bathrooms with designer tiles, frameless glass showers, and bespoke cabinetry. New wide plank white oak flooring, and two gas fireplaces create a warm ambiance. Modern updates, sophisticated details, and a flexible floor plan enhance everyday living. Located minutes from Elmwood, Claremont, and Rockridge, enjoy easy access to bakeries, markets, restaurants, and hiking trails. With freeway access, BART and Transbay buses nearby, commuting is effortless. This is more than a home—it’s a retreat.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
