About This Home
As of August 2024Torn from the pages of Dwell magazine, this one-of-a-kind, modern, earthy, light-filled and drenched-in-views home is an art enthusiast's dream. Designed by noted Marin architect Richard Rushton, and currently owned by another accomplished architect, you can imagine how discerning and elegant the build and presentation. This iconic home showcases stunning and unobstructed views from inside and outside of the house. Surrounded by, but not enclosed in, Bay, Douglas Fir and Redwood trees, the nearly 8-foot windows allow one to open the home to the outdoors. Incredible light throughout the day evolves over the course of the season. The kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests on all levels of the home and especially wonderful for those who love to cook gourmet meals with a spacious pantry that can serve as a wine cellar. The house lives on three levels and each one boasts both a commanding view and magazine-worthy appointments. When we say hip, we mean it. Think style, timeless taste, sophistication and edge. The open kitchen and dining room look into the distant landscape and onto a high ceiling open living room. There is glass all around and green for as far as the eye can see. There are hardwood floors throughout and open wood railings throughout.
