Welcome to Casa dei Sogni on majestic Belvedere Island, a Mediterranean-inspired oasis flanked between beautiful Mt. Tam with the Golden Gate Bridge in her Shadow and the  Bay Bridge with the majestic San Francisco Skyline at her side. Originally designed by Andrew Skurman in 1978, the estate offers an air of regality to a bayfront property reminiscent of an Italian Villa. Though gilded in a traditional prestige, it is anything but stodgy; remodeled twice since its original construction, including an  $18 million renovation executed by Red Horse Construction in 2010 with an unparalleled level of quality construction and craftsmanship. 

The home is a perfect playground for a nautical enthusiast that is situated on a deep water channel with a mooring to hold a 60’ boat, a 30’ floating dock, a Williamson boat lift to accommodate a 28’ vessel, and a boat house for the most relaxing office on earth. 

Constructed for coastal weather, the skeleton is a steel frame that is wrapped in stainless steel, then wrapped in neoprene and finished with commercial grade stucco. The home was built to last. 

The main home boasts 4 bedrooms 4 full baths and 3 half baths. Breathtaking views from the moment you enter the main floor that incorporates the public rooms.  The living room is grounded by an imported marble fireplace surrounded by nothing but views. The family room opens seamlessly to an entertaining deck with an outdoor fireplace and built-in barbecue for casual entertaining. The next level hosts the sanctuary primary suite that flows to a private terrace to enjoy a coffee at sunrise. The downstairs family room is centered between two gracious en suite bedrooms. This floor opens to the dock and private beach that sparkles with natural sea glass. The street level is home to the caretaker's studio and a large office.
