Secluded in a private enclave at the end of a gated drive, the residence features soaring ceiling heights, a modern, open floor plan, sweeping entertainer’s decks, and sliding walls of glass that bring phenomenal views to the forefront of the living experience.

The main residence features superior quality and amenities throughout its 6 luxurious view suites, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths spanning approximately 10,309 sq. ft. of extraordinary living space, linear designs, and prominent shapes of a building design.  Engineering and utilitarian elements play into the timeless design of George Foy with materials like glass, stone, and steel used liberally in construction to showcase the natural beauty of this estate.  In addition, the estate includes a 2-bedroom, 2 full bath guest house, with approximately 1,800 sq. ft. Both residences feature the finest selection of materials and finishes, exquisite interior design, and exterior landscape.

Behind double glass doors, a light-infused, two-story atrium studded with trees leads to a series of intimate and grand-scale living and dining spaces. Soaring ceilings enhance the home’s incredible scale, while floor-to-ceiling window walls flood the spaces in natural light, immersing guests in the breathtaking views beyond. The gourmet chef’s kitchen, with a large center island and top-of-the-line appliances, features oversized custom glass windows.

Secluded in its own private wing, the monumental master suite is flanked by walls of glass, enveloping the space in sweeping vistas. An opulent marble bathroom boasts amazing ceiling heights and custom walk-in closets. With an office space, oversized fireplace, and sitting area, sliding doors lead to a sprawling outdoor lounge overlooking the pool below and sunset horizon.

The gated estate offers privacy, steel frame construction, wine cellar, billiards room with wet bar, 2 custom offices, and state-of-the-art technology. The estate’s resort-like grounds are as impressive as the residences. Aztec Estate offers the versatility to retreat in serenity or entertain elaborate and lavish events on the estate grounds which features an infinity pool, steam room and spa, tennis and basketball court, outdoor fire pit, manicured gardens, various terraces, and seating areas, fountains, waterfall, and wrap-around decks with endless views.

As seen on HGTV's Extreme Homes, Forbes magazine, and DuPont Registry, this stunning private estate with close and easy access to the heart of energetically charged Silicon Valley provides a natural buffer from the bustling lights below while sharing the neighborhood with several of Silicon Valley’s elite.

A unique combination of privacy, exclusivity, peacefulness, views, and luxury all in this one-of-a-kind modern masterpiece.

Rare Belvedere Waterfront Estate Compound Featured in Architectural Digest, this world-class residence showcases panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, the entire city skyline of San Francisco, and Sausalito. This magnificent masterpiece in a dramatic setting on the most prestigious location is comprised of a ±8,131 sq .ft. home on a ±0.67 acre lot, featuring 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. This architectural work of art was designed by architect Charles Gwathmey, with spectacular outlooks from every corner of the expansive 4-level floor plan. The primarily vertical organization of this house takes advantage of its sloped site on the southern coast of Belvedere Island. The uppermost level contains a 3-car garage with glass doors, an elevator that descends to a courtyard, a detached one bedroom, one bath guesthouse, and a spacious wine cellar.

The remaining levels of the main house are situated between two large retaining walls, which follow the natural contours of the site and splay outwards towards the Bay. The house’s compact organization within the precinct formed by the retaining walls ensures privacy. An interior circular stair winds around an elevator and forms the cylindrical focal point of the house’s massing. A barrel-vaulted ceiling articulates the living and dining room at the entry level of the main house, and a large deck projects towards the Bay to extend the space into the landscape. 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a study, and a two-story entertainment room occupy the intermediate floors, while a media room, a beautiful wet bar, a full bath with steam shower, and a sauna on the lowest level open onto a spacious outdoor terrace with a pool, whose “infinity edge” of water establishes a poetic connection to the Bay.

The interior floors are limestone and wide plank, Bubinga wood and cabinets are lightly stained maple. The exterior is clad in gray stained cedar, with a curved standing seam zinc roof. All exterior windows, doors, and decks are teak, all terraces are beige/gray flamed limestone pavers and the retaining walls are painted warm white stucco. This one-of-a-kind residence also can be purchased with the adjacent property at 455 Belvedere Ave and a home on 2 legal ±0.7 acre lots at 443 Belvedere Avenue to be your amazing family compound.

Now that Summer is close to ending, what do you see as the takeaways from the last six months?

The last six months, we experienced a migration from urban to suburbs, many city families moving out of high rise luxury condos or the city homes to the suburban homes with large gardens, pool, and spacious homes for Shelter-in-Place. Since the lockdown 6 months ago, people are equipped to work from home. There is no longer a need to work in the offices in the City. I think at least 35% of workers will continue to work from home even after the COVID pandemic is over. Having home offices for husband and wife and home study rooms for the children has become important amenities.

Is there an area from which buyers are relocating to the Bay area?

We are experiencing the buyers from large Cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles buying in Belvedere, Tiburon in Southern Marin County where the price is lower than the large cities and the communities are safer than the major cities from the virus and from the protestors.

How has your market been doing so far this year compared to this time last year?

My market is booming this year despite of the lockdown. There are 23 % more sales this year so far compared to last year. I have sold seven homes so far this year, total over $60 million.
