A sumptuous estate circa 1919 idyllically set on Clarendon Crescent elevates indoor-outdoor living. Designed by noted architect John J. Donovan for his own family, it showcases extravagantly proportioned and woodwork-embellished interiors, including formal living, dining, family rooms, a sitting room-office, and atrium. Amid well-preserved grandeur, a contemporary connoisseurs' dine-in kitchen plus other updates intermix. Nearly all open to terra-cotta terraces and level quarter-acre-plus grounds. Five second-floor bedrooms served by three bathrooms encircle a gathering-place family room extending to an outdoor lounge. Beyond the main house, with a garden outlook is a detached cottage with full bath and kitchen for a separate dwelling or retreat-like studio. Please Google John J. Donovan to see his many contributions in architecture from the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center and City Hall in Oakland to St. Mary's College in Moraga, CA.

Fabulous Price! Fabulous Home! This stunning, rebuilt custom home has been renovated from the studs up, and is in perfect move-in condition, with every attention given to detail and craftsmanship. Beautifully renovated and architecturally designed with a sleek, modern look, it features an open concept floor plan with a spacious chef’s kitchen that openly connects with an inviting dining space for family gatherings and large events. The expansive landscaped backyard boasts all the convenient amenities you need to entertain, including a stunning water fountain, a fully equipped outdoor stainless steel kitchen, a beautiful pergola for al fresca dining, and even a raised garden bed for true farm to table vegetables. And as the sun sets, the gas fire pit becomes the perfect spot for intimate conversations. Upstairs, the primary ensuite offers a private rooftop deck and walk in closet while the main level includes two guests bedrooms and an oversized living room. The lower level is for kicking back in the family room featuring a wet bar, and a guest bedroom and bath for visiting friends. Rare to find a quality built home like this, and in one of the most desirable neighborhoods, Crocker Highlands. This could be the one!
