modern mediterranean has bay views "like Amalfi coast" + elevator + ADU

Visitors to 435 Tremont Avenue say the stunning views “look like the Amalfi coastline in Italy!”  Yet sweeping views of Mount Tam, iconic pillars of the Golden Gate bridge and San Francisco skyline  say "definitely California!"  Modern Mediterranean custom-built home (2002) had major permitted renovations done by current Owners  (2017) to include new elevator (with direct access from garage level), a gorgeous permitted ADU (with separate entrance, patio area and Bay views),  and added the 2-car carport to existing 2-car garage for total 4-car parking. There are sweeping Bay views from almost every room in the house. Natural light streams in all day long. The main floor offers one-level living (there is one bedroom and a full bath on the main level. ) The upper level has TWO primary suite retreats, connected by private view deck, each primary with walk-in closets and own ensuite.  Gardens encircle the property. This estate-style home is close to freeway access to San Francisco and Marin.  Love Napa and Sonoma? Just 40 minutes away! 

In addition to the breath-taking bay views, 435 Tremont also has a stellar viewing point of avian activity on the raptor flight path: Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, Ospreys, and Turkey Vultures. Hummingbirds circle the garden and flowers. Three bird baths entertain squirrels and birds alike. Native milkweed plants feed monarch butterflies. At night you hear owls in the neighborhood.  The views, access to nature, the seamless indoor-outdoor living all make for the daily rhythm of life at 435 Tremont Avenue.
