Bay, city skyline, and canyon views from nearly every room. This 2001 custom contemporary in Piedmont Pines was built around its hillside setting - a level-in entry, walls of glass, multiple view decks, and a floor plan that keeps the vista in front of you from the kitchen island to the primary suite. The open main level flows from the chef's kitchen with stone counters and a center island through the dining area to a sunken living room with fireplace, all opening to a full-length view deck made for long dinners that run past sunset. A bedroom, full bath, and powder room on this level work for guests or a home office. Downstairs, a split-level design balances togetherness and privacy. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and private deck over the Bay — morning coffee with the water in front of you. Two more bedrooms and a full bath sit alongside a family room with wet bar, its own bathroom, and a private exterior entrance, a genuine option for multigenerational living, an au pair, or a media room. Owned solar, central air conditioning, hardwood floors, built-in audio, and an attached two-car garage with interior access.

High above the treetops, the view becomes the backdrop to daily life. The kitchen has the presence to match: a Thermador gas range, generous expanses of workspace, walk-in pantry, and skylight overhead. It’s substantial without feeling imposing—the kind of kitchen that invites people to linger. Downstairs, the primary suite feels secluded from the rest of the world. Generously proportioned and oriented toward the view, it pairs an enormous walk-in closet with a spa-like bath designed for lingering. Quiet, private, and indulgent, it feels less like a bedroom and more like a retreat. And then there are the luxuries that reveal themselves slowly: extraordinary closet and storage space, a substantial laundry room, and a large two-car garage with direct interior access. 6577 Glen Oaks has that rare combination of expansiveness and intimacy—room to fill the house with people when you want them close, and enough private corners to vanish when you don’t.
