Majestically perched on seven private hilltop acres, this updated Mediterranean estate captures sweeping views of the Pacific, the Harbor, Islands, and mountains. The 6,000+ sq ft residence pairs refined interiors with relaxed California living: gracious great room and dining rooms, plus a kitchen and family room with floor-to-ceiling windows opening to sunny terraces. Four en-suite bedrooms include a primary retreat with sitting area, dressing space, and spa-like bath with mountain views. A separate guest wing suits extended stays, an office, or studio. Resort-like grounds offer a pool and spa, putting green, mature olive trees, orchards, lavender, vineyard, and multiple terraces. Wine cellar, 3-car garage, and private neighborhood wells. Minutes to Upper State Street, yet a world apart
