Elite New Construction Re-Defines Scenic Luxury

Dazzling with design innovations, this modern marvel evokes the glamour of the Hollywood Hills, where luxe retreats embrace nature. Award-winning architect Leonard Ng harnesses his Harvard and MIT background into a bold statement exceeding 7,800 sq. ft. of brand new ingenuity. Overlooking the Bay, this North Hillsborough promontory comes to life amidst a composition of stone, glass, and wood.

A gated motor court reveals the affinity with nature, accented by vintage oaks and Zen gardens. Stepping inside, the Two-Story Lobby is topped by a 22 ft. high glass ceiling, floating staircase with rock garden, and mezzanine above. Everywhere you look, the ambiance is treated with lofty walls of glass, huge open volume, and interplays of light and geometry. Minimalism soothes and soars, as clean lines reach upward and outward. The Two-Story Living Room becomes its own work of art beneath 20 ft. ceilings and vertex angles framing the Bay and Mt. Diablo. Consider this the opening movement of your symphony, where your guests will first take in the views warmed by a linear fireplace and the architectural artistry. But much more awaits! Up the floating staircase and beyond a garden atrium, the heart of the home commands a 50 ft. wide Tour de Force Kitchen/Family Great Room. Towering ceilings of 11.5 feet enhance brilliant light through a wall of floor-to-ceiling retractable glass doors. The proportions are breathtaking: your First Class Salon that pivots from Kitchen/Family to Chic Open Dining, to Entertainment Terrace and Scenic Infinity Pool with Spa.

Channeling Hollywood’s famed Bird Streets, this Kitchen/Family Great Room blends the best of modern form and function. Whether chill-zone family movie night, or a DJ-ready Gala event, the epic space is an indoor/outdoor crowd-pleaser not soon forgotten. The architect takes full advantage of the Great Room’s central perch to showcase views of the interior architecture, the waters of the Bay, and vast greenbelt countryside beyond the infinity pool. The sleek minimalist kitchen boasts a 13 foot long waterfall island, Miele induction range, and seamless Italian-style cabinetry. Joining the sleekness beneath the 11’ 5” ceilings, a separate pantry houses a convenient dumbwaiter from the garage, plus double Viking ovens ready for catered events. Festivities extend out to poolside patio, Fire Pit and built-in grilling center. From here, horizon lines encompass the infinity pool and acres of greenbelt above Skyfarm lands.

As a residential work of art, the Floorplan thrives on diverse destinations. Amenities include 5 or 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths, one half bath, plus ideal flexibility for Gym, Office or Au Pair, along with Home Theater, Wine Cellar, and 3-Car Garage. Tucked beyond the Kitchen/Family Great Room, you will be blown away by an enormous Multi-Use room of 11 ft. 5 inch ceilings. This spectacular Bay-view hideaway acts as its own wing, complete with en suite bathroom, enormous view deck, and dramatic frameless-edge walls of glass—imagine the perfect CEO’s Office, Guest Suite, skyline Fitness Center, or even Secondary Primary Suite. Also on the top floor, you will find a “crow’s nest” bedroom suite adaptable as a stunning Office, artistically built within angular vertex window walls overlooking the Bay. The floating staircase and central mezzanine are a study in composition, sculpting a brilliant axis down the center of the home between the two-story living room and lofty kitchen/family Great Room. Moving to the South Wing of the Upper Level, the hallway contains a family bedroom suite, then culminating in a sun-streamed Primary Suite overlooking sweeping views. With its stealth lines, walls of glass, and view terrace, the Primary bedroom purveys modern luxury at its finest.

The beauty of the Floorplan lies in its division of destinations. The entire Entry Level lives almost as its own house, boasting the two-story living room, two additional bedroom suites, fully wired Home Theater (with walk-behind concession bar), extra room ideal for Gym, Au Pair or Office (with full hallway bathroom), plus the opulent wine cellar, and oversized laundry. Dumbwaiter service seamlessly delivers your packages from the garage directly to the kitchen pantry.

From this North Hillsborough location, you will own the gateway to coveted public and private schools, less than 10 minutes to North Elementary, Crocker Middle, or Nueva School; 15 minutes or less from SFO, and just "up the street" from Lower North Hillsborough connections of Oakdale and Forest View. Cinematic charisma meets Zen-like confidence...a masterful union of NorCal and SoCal architectural inspirations...the Modern Vanguard is a world class design statement awaiting its first connoisseur.
