1025 Black Mountain Road Hillsborough, CA 94010

Hummingbirds play here, their spirited hide-and-seek part of the sunwashed warmth and wonder of the private garden playground that surrounds this vibrant 1930s Spanish Colonial home. Thoughtful, extensive remodeling and upgrades artfully integrate modern functionality and flow with the property's original curves and corners. The main level floor plan is a hub-and-spoke, flowing out from a central entry to living, dining, kitchen/family and mudrooms, each a destination as well as a passage to the encircling garden. Arched windows and architectural balconies decorate the five upper level bedrooms. Doors here are always open, patios and pathways mingle with fireplaces and fountains, gilded afternoons slip into luminous evenings, and ubiquitous music and lighting provide modern enhancements to comfortable, unhurried gatherings around the glow of the all-season fire pit. 1025 Black Mountain redefines total living area, and the only exterior walls of note are those at the edge of the garden.
