8255 Rancho Real

Perched on top of a hill with views all around, this home was designed by George L. Sinclair, a prominent American architect based in the San Francisco Peninsula.This home is an example of Sinclair's mid-career work, blending his signature Spanish Revival exterior with innovative interior elements that prioritize natural light and structural honesty. The extensive use of Clerestory windows is a standout hallmark of Sinclair's "inside-out" philosophy--he believed architecture should blur boundaries between indoors and outdoors. This 3-bedroom, 3.5 baths layout unfolds with an open-yet intimate ethos: a central living/dining spine flowing to a chef's kitchen. Recently renovated, this well-preserved home has timeless appeal. The kitchen and primary bath were designed and crafted by Berkeley Mills. Both are works of art, featuring mahogany in the kitchen and teak in the primary bath.The kitchen is filled with all Miele appliances. This home is made for entertainment. The floor plan is open and connected to the outdoors. Bedrooms have their own bathrooms. There is a spacious pantry and other practical storage. Included at the garage level is a wine storage room and a mechanical room for the new HVAC units. A full-house-automated standby generator is on site in case of a power outage.
