About 207 Seaview Drive

“Seacliff” is a home development built by Toll Brothers in the 2000s that looks out onto San Francisco Bay and enjoys views of the entire city skyline and the dramatic architecture of the Bay Bridge. At the time, Toll Brothers’ business model was to sell a home, and then to sell finish upgrades at an exceptional, additional cost. As a result, current home buyers can feel uninspired by the standard tan, beige and brown tones that present a “Builder Boring” aesthetic in neighboring homes offered for sale.

But at 207 Seaview Drive, savvy homebuyers will take delight in a design that is anything but boring. Refreshed floor to ceiling with a new interior and exterior paint palate, the feel is fresh and airy. Modern, open-bulb lighting and cabinet hardware in polished chrome bring a contemporary feel to a traditional space. Jewel-toned cabinetry updates the kitchen and master bath. New kitchen countertops surround the space in Carrara quartz anchored by a walnut, butcher block island top. The owner paid for tens of thousands of dollars worth of builder upgrades, which include a stainless steel GE® ProfileTM appliance package, a master bedroom fireplace, and a Junior Master Suite at the top of the stairs.

Entertaining guests in the backyard is easy on the stamped concrete patio with gas lines available for a plumbed-in grill. This home also features an alarm system, and CAT-5 networking for more stable internet access without the use of wi-fi.
