This one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece was designed by Steve McCracken. He was inspired by the 180 degree views, so he based his design on the idea that the house was a 35 mm camera, starting with the front door as a viewfinder, through two opposing mirrored walls to the lens. The lens’ cylindrical & diverging shape is suggested by the barrel- vaulted ceiling & angled interior walls. Abundant windows maximize views, while still providing ample privacy. Enter the home via a stunning catwalk.. The main floor boasts a powder room, an open kitchen with 2 sinks, an island, a walk-in pantry, & high end appliances, a living room featuring a fireplace, flat screen TV niche, & deck with sweeping views of the bay, the bridges & San Francisco. There’s a whole house surge protector, & Cat 5 wiring. Downstairs you’ll find 2 bedrooms, a hall bath, & an enormous master suite with remodeled bath, a walk-in closet & a deck. On the ground floor is a laundry room, & a 2 car interior-access garage.
