Description

Architect-designed “Tokyo Modern” residence by East Bay architect Bendrew Jong, set on a sunny hillside above Sleepy Hollow with sweeping western ridgeline views toward San Pablo Reservoir. Completed in 1988, the approx. 3,993 sq ft home is centered around a dramatic glass atrium that fills the interior with natural light and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Slate floors extend through the main living areas and into the primary suite, while traditional shoji screens provide privacy, filtered light, and distinctive architectural character. A central indoor planter and water feature bring a tranquil touch of nature indoors. From this elevated perch, watch coastal fog roll across the western slopes above San Pablo Reservoir. The kitchen with quartz counters and stainless appliances opens to a spacious family room designed for relaxed living and entertaining. Five bedrooms and 4.5 baths include three private suites. Cleverly arranged with stairs and architectural bridges, the layout offers separation and privacy, with many bedrooms opening to private decks and views. Top-level bonus room for media, office, gym or playroom. Three-car garage with storage. Set on over one acre offering exceptional privacy in a peaceful hillside setting. Views: Ridge
