The home offers panoramic views of the Bay from every east-facing room on both levels, as well as from the backyard. The main level features an open-concept layout w/a full wall of windows that flood the space with natural light. The great room is warm & inviting with a gas fireplace, custom stonework, built-in shelving, & recessed lighting.
