The Future of Modern Luxury: Brand New Designer Showcase Overlooking the Bay

5 Bed 4 .5 Bath 5,095 Sq. Ft. Living Area 0.67 Acre Lot

HILLSBOROUGH'S MOST EXCITING NEW CONSTRUCTION... Dream Team of design and craftsmanship: award-winning San Francisco designer Studio Michael Hilal infuses cutting-edge modern DNA with warmth, livability, and a symphony of handpicked accoutrements. Custom builder Nejasmich Developments delivers renowned detail and artistry to a sleek canvas by Sausalito architect Brooks McDonald. 

The INNOVATION begins with a purely one-story building envelope. This platform sets the stage for ceilings over 12 feet, and 360 DEGREES OF LUXURY, with indoor/outdoor transitions opening to usable flat lands to both the front and rear. SEAMLESS is a most appropriate theme for the entirety of this lifestyle. Seamless transitions minimize the boundaries of indoors and outdoors, seamless attention to clean lines and finishes harmonizes as not just walls and rooms, but an entire organic ambiance. Note the integrated clean-lined cabinetry, without the distraction of hardware, that exudes warm tones and designer panache. Warmth is a central theme empowered by the richness of white oak and walnut millwork and deep color accents. Ingenuity informs the luxury, from the dazzling wine pantry, the practicality of the mud room cabinetry, to the leathered Taj Mahal quartzite counters, to myriad bells and whistles such as steam showers, a dedicated spa, Klafs German-designed sauna, and gym, Wolf/Sub-Zero/Cove appliance ensemble, curated artisan lighting, pewter-flamed limestone hardscape, and towering Western Window systems. Global design elements are your symphony: from flourishes of European luxe, to an Eastern Zen minimalist sensibility

As you approach the metal-roofed aesthetic atop a dramatic, sun-drenched plateau, the waters of the Bay are your scenic backdrop. Experience the inspirations of legendary Southern California architects such as Scott Mitchell and Paul McClean, exploding with conversation-makers and City Lights vistas. The gated driveway and profuse landscaping make this statement barely visible from the road. Limestone hardscape takes full advantage of the gated and usable front grounds with a gradual terraced approach, water element, and a thrilling Bay-view patio as center stage of the front grounds. The design speaks to the strength of this North Hillsborough knolltop, commanding a .67 acre lot size. Resting on an east/west axis, brilliant streaming light is ensured throughout the day. 

Enter beyond a glass pivot door and lofty foyer of architectural volume. Minimalism mixes with natural materials from every angle. Interplays of wood, stone, and glass deliver an earthiness that is inviting and timeless. Ceilings soar to over 12 feet, creating an impact only possible on single-level open concepts. Key destinations include the tour de force Great Room, dedicated home office, carbon-hued den (as second office, TV room, or teen hangout) a decadent Bay-view guest suite,  Primary Suite with pool access, steam shower, and dazzling walnut/marble finish ensemble. A sequestered south wing of the home hosts a full gym featuring 12 ft+. ceilings, French doors, backlit mirror, rubberized floor, and adjacent spa room with professional sauna. 

Another hallmark of this innovative single-story design is the effortless blending of grand volumes and intimate retreats--seamless! The central Great Room with all its loftiness, is partnered with a cozy breakfast nook paneled in white oak and inviting you in with an upholstered banquette and bespoke table. Imagine casual meals in this nook, or on the expanse of the center island. Another curated moment is the retractable white oak door that slides to conceal your media display above the fireplace. Conversation pieces like this are the norm within this true "design for living." 

Outside, your Five-Star Resort is an oasis blessed by sunshine. Natural connections between home and garden elevate your daily flow, with perfect entertaining circulation between the Great Room, Pool and Pool House/ADU.  Al fresco amenities cascade with flat lawns to the front and rear, outdoor grilling station, gas firepit, and poolside lounging amidst western exposure. Note the detail of pre-drilled holes for your umbrellas on the pool deck! As architect Brooks McDonald summarizes, “we define luxury through how we experience architecture.” 

Hillsborough’s most exciting new design is within minutes of Nueva School, North Elementary, Crocker Middle, and Burlingame High. Now, with a scarcity of modern luxury homes in the marketplace, this is a rare design gem that tells an indelible story of Hillsborough's new luxury lifestyle.
