Commanding one of Hillsborough’s highest outlooks, this top-of-the-world view estate can never be duplicated. The pure rarity of the unobstructed 1.32 acre knolltop, matched with a 7,500 +/- sq. ft. mansion, delivers a lifestyle unrivaled in all of the Bay Area. Vistas encompass 360 degrees, from the western Santa Cruz mountain ranges, to the sprawling valley floor of Silicon Valley to the South, and gazing northeast to the absolutely uninterrupted majesty of the waters of the Bay, San Francisco skyline, City lights, and Bay Bridge.

 This gated home was re-imagined and expanded over three levels by acclaimed designer James Chu of Chu Design & Engineering. Amenities include 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, plus executive library, in-law/au pair quarters, enormous lower level game room, thrilling view terrace, pool site, and much more. The interior has just undergone extensive designer updating with new beautifully stained espresso floors, many new Andersen windows and doors, new Thermador appliances, crisp new paint inside and out, new fixtures, new carpeting, new LED lighting, Nest thermostat, new landscaping, and other luxury amenities. Sleek urban-style ambiance meets the country gentility Hillsborough is famous for…

Approached from the end of the Miranda Court cul-de-sac, the 3-level floorplan opens to a dazzling two-story salon crowned by 19 ft. ceilings. Epic room sizes elevate the interior tapestry of light and scenery. While the grand architecture sweeps you off your feet befitting royalty, it is equally impressive for the modern family. All daily endeavors will enjoy the profusion of sunny natural light everywhere you look. High ceilings and monumental windows magnify the panorama of Bay scenery from every room. The main level sequence begins with the two-story salon, a destination unto itself ready for the grand piano and pre-dinner cocktail reception. The formal living room features nearly 11 ft. ceilings, new marble fireplace, and wrap-around view windows. The formal dining room also surveys the Bay, and transitions to an oversized kitchen/family great room. This open chef’s kitchen has all-new Thermador appliances and a huge eating nook overlooking San Francisco skyscrapers. Also on the main level are an executive library and titanic guest wing that could inspire a future “main level master” or auxiliary media room overlooking the front gardens.

Flexibility is a hallmark of the floorplan: your passions and visions are converted by multiple destinations throughout the home. Upstairs, three king-size bedroom suites soak in the sun and views. On the lower level, the immense game room stretches over 30 feet in length and awaits your theater, billiards, or music studio. Adjacent to the game room, a full bath and additional room will inspire a Yoga studio (with patio access), staff office, or guest hideaway. Accommodations are further expanded by a separate in-law/au pair quarters complete with private garden entrance.

Outside, privacy and scenic tranquility reign supreme. The vistas are a constantly changing work of art, unimpeded, with the eye gazing for miles above the wonders of the Bay. Sunrises glow from the eastern morning horizon; twinkling lights dance on the skyline at dusk. Because of the 1.32 acre lot size, the buffer from other properties or intrusions is superbly preserved in perpetuity. Backdropped by the Bay, lavish parties come alive on the world class entertainment terrace. Just below, a flat lawn welcomes a play yard or your future infinity pool. For those who dare to dream, to touch the sky, and live the ultimate Hillsborough luxury, we bring you “The Pinnacle of Prestige.”
