Kick back and take in the beautiful views overlooking the Ross Valley from this out-of-a-magazine loggia. Adjacent to the front porch is the formal entry, formal living room and formal dining room. These rooms are grand in scale and have period detailing including rich crown moldings, wainscoting and high baseboards. Also on the main level is a large kitchen, a walk-in pantry, an office area and a half bath. The chef’s kitchen features Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, a 6-burner gas range and stainless steel appliances.
