Belvedere Island, in San Francisco Bay, is sought after for its epic views that can include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the San Francisco skyline, and Mount Tamalpais. Just four miles north of San Francisco, the sleepy bedroom community spans 2.4 square miles with a long shoreline along the bay as well as an internal man-made lagoon for boating, sailing, and other water-based pursuits, making it particularly attractive to nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The $17.7 million bayfront residence at 63 West Shore Road offers world-class water, city, and mountain views. The entire property was overhauled in 2020 and spans 3,765 square feet with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a powder room. West Shore Road, lined with beautiful waterfront homes, is considered one of Belvedere’s most exclusive streets. The home is listed by Shana Rohde-Lynch of Compass.
The charming, well-designed home, set on under half an acre of land, features an attached garage, manicured landscaping, and a vine-covered exterior. Inside, the main level boasts an open floor plan with a large central game room, a light-filled living room with a gas fireplace, a dining area, and a beautiful kitchen. Throughout are Monarch Plank Braize European oak hardwood floors, a Sonos speaker system, and a neutral color palette. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is both elevated and inviting, with a waterfall island with seating for seven, Pietra Fina white marble countertops, and an Officine Gullo six-burner gas range with dual convection ovens. There’s also a wine fridge, a warming drawer, and two Bosch dishwashers.
Designed for alfresco entertaining, the two-level property has entertainment decks on both the main level and the upper floor that take advantage of the uninterrupted views. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass slide open to a waterside deck with an outdoor kitchen. There’s plenty of room for dining and relaxing, as well as two outdoor TVs, a turf lawn, two fire pits, and along the side of the home, a saltwater pool and spa. Boating aficionados will appreciate the two docks, meaning you can easily spend days cruising around San Francisco Bay and come directly home.
The bedrooms are split between the first and second floors, with the primary suite on the upper level with dazzling views over the water. The suite offers two walk-in closets, electric blinds, sliding glass doors that open to the deck, and a lovely bathroom with custom, hand-painted tile and a clawfoot soaking tub. The second level also has two additional bedrooms, both with beamed ceilings, and a deck with a fire pit.
