Description

Perched on the crest of Panoramic Hill, this early Third Bay Region residence (think Sea Ranch in the East Bay) is an exceedingly rare single family design by noted local architect John Christian Belz. Rustic on the outside and refined within, it epitomizes the Third Bay notion of the home as a geode whose simple exterior belies the wonders found inside. Main house is a reverse floorplan with 3 beds, 1.5 baths. Cozy detached ADU is an additional 1 bed, 1 bath. Come bask in the views after which Panoramic Hill was named! Home is perfectly positioned to look out over the Campanile toward the bay, SF, and the Golden Gate.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from November 13, 2024

    "I grew up on Oakvale Ave & Domingo, and even as a kid I felt that Claremont was the best neighborhood ever: so many families, with genuine community spirit, and all kinds of beautiful, secret places to explore (safely). Now that I’ve lived in Palo Alto, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, Manhattan—and raising my own three children in Brooklyn—it’s clear to me that this neighborhood is a uniquely special, sometimes magical, place to grow up. I wish I could move it to Brooklyn!"

    "we care for each neighborhood, and watch out for one another in this big community. From helping the elderly to supporting the youth it's one big fest of communities colliding together and having each other backs. Let's not forget the big parties and many fusion restaurants they have to offer. With its diversity of multicultural foods the possibilities are endless and of course let's not forget our classics to New York style pizza to traditional Mexican cuisine it's an abyss of nothing but delicious food coming your way "
