A design lover’s dream Bay Area home just listed on Belvedere Island, ready to wow with its look and its price: $11.57 million. The rad residence is a triple threat: It was designed by midcentury modern architect A. Quincy Jones, built by Joseph Eichler in 1964, and is currently curated, and owned, by interior designer Pam Robertson.
Of course, the waterfront haven has been published numerous times, including in Coastal Living magazine and a book called At Home by the Sea. After all, what would you expect from a property that has the touch of not just one notable design professional, but three? Not only does the home have great curb appeal—a gated front yard and lush landscaping—it also has great, might we say, dock appeal—two boat lifts and an expansive deck catch the eye.
Inside, the residence totals four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. It boasts an open floor plan, post-and-beam construction, and great zones for indoor/outdoor living. Vaulted ceilings in the great room allow for plenty of light to flood in through the wall of sliding glass doors. Bespoke, designer touches also abound. A powder room with an Hermes wallcovering and Juliska light fixture? Yes, please. The owners also oh-so-coolly converted the two-car garage into a hangout lounge.
Outside, a deck overlooks the water, as does a hot tub, fire pit, and dock. And, everything enhances the beauty of the tranquil location.
“Three things really stand out about living on West Shore Road,” seller Pam Robertson says. “Barbecuing and spending time on the deck with views stretching from the Golden Gate Bridge to Mount Tamalpais is pretty spectacular. The sea life is incredible. Richardson Bay is part of a migratory flyway, so the birds, seals, and fish we see every day make it feel like we’re living in a protected national park. And, the sunsets are absolutely stunning.”
For those interested in the Bay Area escape, Shana Rohde-Lynch of Compass holds the Malibu-esque listing.
