About this home

Level-in Bay views, a serene retreat sits atop a grove of trees in a lovely, private setting. With entrances from both San Luis Road and Santa Barbara Road, the home at 785 San Luis Road was designed in the 1920's by well-known architect Edwin Snyder. Snyder is known for his Spanish-style, inviting patios, over-hanging balconies, handsome mahogany doors and Mediterranean detailing. This gorgeous home begins with an impressive, tiled entrance, foyer and dramatic staircase. The first floor includes a step-down living room with high, beamed ceilings, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a stunning cook's kitchen with large marble island, limestone floors and a wall of French doors opening to a leafy patio. Two more bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. Beautiful views and a magical setting. Walk down a private path on San Luis Rd to John Hinkel Park, and the shops on Solano Avenue!
