Unquestionably one of Hillsborough's most stunning contemporary retreats, Sky House at Woodgate Hills draws you in with minimalist sophistication and designer remodeling.  The presence of a gated compound, radiant in sunlight, glamorous amidst Bay vistas, envelops you on 1.53 acres. While it would be easy to use the word "Zen," this ambiance overdelivers beyond just one descriptor with its eclectic blend of Mid Century, Far East Pavilion style, and cutting-edge modern luxury...an enduring statement not soon forgotten. 

The current owners have taken this circa-1954 architecturally significant dwelling to the next level, with indoor/outdoor renovations encompassing nearly 8,000 feet (6,660 main home, plus 100 ft custom meditation house, plus 145 foot dual pool bathrooms, plus new 1,085 ft 4-car garage). Worthy to be experienced as a composition, with intriguing movements and segues, the home is a vessel for fine art, views, and light. Inside, walnut floors, a crisp white palette, and towering walls of glass create an organic interplay with the outdoors. Scenery encompasses Bay, City lights, acres of tree-capped ridge lines, and your own private olive grove. Open Concept Great Room living shines with ceilings of 12 ft. 3 inches in the living/dining salon, and a bold double kitchen with new skylights rising ___feet above. Recently refinished Ipe wood decks are a premium signature touch that add warmth and a plethora of view positions. Rear decks and gardens survey above the Skyfarm hillsides and nature, while the front deck showcases heightened vistas of San Francisco skyscrapers and the Bay Bridge. 

An iconic moment of this architectural composition is surely the Garden Gallery. Here, a ____long gallery hallway is topped by 12 ft. ceilings, and framed on two sides by sliding walls of glass that access multiple gardens and views. This signature space links the main living areas and a self-contained master wing with its own Office, expanded walk-closet, and spa sanctuary bathroom. The Garden Gallery so beautifully personifies this home's provenance of both classical and contemporary elegance.
