Slice of resort luxury in Belvedere

6-bedroom palatial estate has Golden Gate views

Bay views, a sprawling pool patio, a dynamic chef’s kitchen, welcoming public rooms and luxurious bedrooms radiate throughout a palatial estate on Golden Gate Avenue in Belvedere.

“The home gracefully joins grand formal spaces with welcoming family living,” said Kara Warrin of Sotheby’s International Realty, who is co-listing 244 Golden Gate Ave. with Max Applegarth for $10.495 million.

The gated six-bedroom home sits atop a palatial estate with unobstructed views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Tamalpais. Unbroken views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito harbor and Richardson Bay await from the luxury home and its park-like grounds.

Further refinement awaits in a kitchen designed by Christopher Peacock. An artisan backsplash, hammered range hood and professional appliances equip a space finished by a banquette with bay views.

The elegance of a formal dining room isn’t far away. One of the main level’s premier destinations, the dining room has woven paper walls and a rock crystal chandelier. A baronial wood-burning fireplace in the living room establishes a stately ambience, as do hand-blown Ventoux sconces and French doors opening to a wraparound entertainment deck.

Three bedrooms — plus a lavish master suite also designed by Peacock — dominate the top level. Rich appointments like the walk-in double-wide steam shower and massive walk-in closet define the upscale master suite’s most notable elements.

Fruit trees sprout from the manicured landscape boasting a verdant lawn and a pool patio overlooking Richardson Bay. Walkways weave through the plethora of arbors accented by soothing water features. Outdoor speakers lend additional entertainment value to a landscape already bearing a gas fire pit and a built-in grill.

The wine cellar stores around 2,000 bottles amid designer fixtures and custom shelving in the inviting lower level. In addition to two bedroom suites, the garden level boasts a large media room. Here, an entertainment bar leads to the pool patio.
