Description

This sophisticated contemporary home above the Claremont Hotel, designed by Lubroth Zylberberg Architects, provides beautiful spaces for living. This is a large and distinguished home, situated on a sizeable lot, designed skillfully to maximize the use of its site.

The floor plan provides effortless access between the beautiful interior spaces and the outdoors with numerous terraces, private patios and garden. This home is perfect for entertaining and comfortable everyday living with its dramatic living room, formal dining room and adjacent open kitchen and family room with walls of windows and doors to the outside. The dramatic spaces of this home are perfectly balanced by the warmth of cherry wood floors and a superb use of materials which include granite, marble, and limestone.

This dramatic and modern home includes five bedrooms, all are suites, and five and one half baths. One of the bedrooms lends itself to being a perfect guest suite or office in that it has its own entrance. The stunning primary master suite opens to a very beautiful sitting room with a bay view, an impressive master bath, and a balcony provide a true retreat.

The wonderful “great room” encompasses the kitchen, eating area and the family room with a fireplace and its own terrace, marvelously planned and executed. There is tremendous versatility possible for living in this home; the layout and floor plan is further enhanced by an elevator, three fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, walls of windows that let in natural light, and a two car garage. Minutes from Rockridge and Berkeley shops, restaurants and Bay Area transportation, this architectural jewel is spectacular in its integration of simplicity and beauty.
