Designed by its architect-owner as his personal retreat, this four bedroom, four bathroom contemporary in the Claremont hills offers 3,075 square feet across several levels. The home might be called the “house of sunrises,” as abundant morning light shapes the home’s character. Outside, four decks and a balcony command sweeping views and link the home to its lovely surroundings. More than $500,000 in recent improvements – including a new kitchen, Venetian plaster, fresh exterior paint, rebuilt and expanded decks, and a new ADU – have updated and refined the home from top to bottom. The main level is a bright and open space for living and dining. Vaulted wood ceilings rise overhead, skylights and tall windows draw in light throughout the day, and Venetian plaster walls rise from the hardwood floors to lend the room a soft texture. At the center, a gas fireplace throws heat in one direction into the 322 square foot living room, and in the other direction to the dining area. The remodeled kitchen pairs high-end appliances with generous Matte quartz counter and cabinet space. The island offers breakfast-bar seating for four. Step through French doors to a courtyard garden at the front or the deck at the back, so the dining experience may seamlessly move outside. A bedroom suite with a remodeled bath completes the level. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom suite sits beneath its own high wood ceiling, with a private balcony and a view down into the living room. The primary suite occupies the floor below the main level and is set apart for privacy. French doors frame the view, and the bathroom has been remodeled. An adjoining room works equally well as an office, nursery or dressing room. A laundry room, extra closets and large storage spaces supplement luxury with convenience. On the lowest level, the fully separate ADU has its own entrance, a quartz kitchenette with refrigerator and freezer, a Murphy bed, and a bathroom with a Mr. Steam shower. Accordion doors unfold to offer access to the deck outside (with a spa positioned to take in the views). Other levels feature decks of their own. Beyond the decks, a cherry blossom tree and a persimmon bring seasonal color to the garden. An attached two-car garage with EV charger and additional driveway parking round out the home. The home is minutes from the Claremont Hotel and the trails above it, with Rockridge and Elmwood shops and restaurants close by.
