Several rooms have views of San Francisco and the Bay. The front bedroom overlooks a garden with a fountain, often visited by birds.

From the deck, kitchen, dining room, and living room, the panorama may include Mount Tamalpais, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, the Port of Oakland, the Oakland and San Francisco skylines, Alameda, Bay estuaries, and the western hills beyond.

The living room includes a comfortable sofa and chaise, reading chairs, attractive furnishings, and a Regency gas fireplace for cool evenings.

There is a flat-screen television in the living room and one in each bedroom, with DirecTV Premium programming.

The larger bedroom also connects to a reading alcove with direct access to a private section of the deck furnished with two cushioned chairs.

Throughout the home, furnishings were selected for comfort, quality, and beauty.
