amazing a-frame architectural retreat

Situated atop beloved Christmas Tree Hill in Corte Madera, this timeless, extensively renovated A-frame residence immediately impresses with its classic architecture, imposing interior angles and beams, and sweeping Bay, Richmond Bridge, and verdant treetop views. A striking wood and opaque glass front door sets the tone for the sophisticated contemporary style that awaits inside. The interior is defined by impeccably executed, on-trend design elements that reflect stylish sensibility and thoughtful attention to detail. Towering Redwoods provide a natural screen of privacy without compromising the spectacular horizon views. The open-concept main floor effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a perfect setting for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings. An inviting free-standing gas stove fireplace enhances the cozy ambience. Unique overhead beams throughout create a strong architectural statement and give the interior a distinctive luxe cabin aesthetic. A 20 foot Fleetwood sliding glass door opens to blur the distinction between the interior and exterior, extending the living space to a spacious deck where minimalist glass railings ensure the breathtaking scenery remains completely uninterrupted. The sleek white kitchen is a standout, featuring darkened glass-front overhead cabinets that reflect the surrounding views, a double white apron sink, polished soft-close cabinetry, a peninsula island with vivid geometric tiles, honeycomb-inspired backsplash, Viking gas range, Kitchen Aid refrigerator, wine refrigerator, and large windows that open outward to invite fresh air and sunlight in. A full bath on this level includes a striking angled walk-in shower and floating vanity against a bold deep-blue accent wall. Access the dramatic loft via a dropdown ladder to experience the full impact of the soaring cathedral ceiling, with windows framing treetop and water views. A round pendant light adds a chic finishing touch. The lower bedroom level is accessed by way of the wide stairwell clad in gleaming reclaimed Redwood, echoing the home’s natural surroundings. The expansive primary suite is a serene sanctuary, with access to a spacious deck, an exposed concrete wall that enhances the home’s earthy elegance, and a walk-in closet enclosed by a pocket door with a dazzling glass inset. The spa-like primary bathroom showcases notable dark gray tile work, radiant-heated floors, a lengthy trough sink, integrated mirrored medicine cabinet, soaking tub with lush outlooks, and a walk-in shower with a floor-to-ceiling viewing window that allows for seeing out but no visibility looking in. An embellished glass pocket bathroom door offers additional privacy, while a secluded deck extends the tranquil ambience to the outdoors. A second en suite bedroom continues the theme of elevated design and stunning vistas, with its own stylish bathroom and unique glass pocket door. Down the hall, which can be closed off for privacy, are a laundry closet and exterior access. The lower level features a fully appointed chic view studio with a compact cutting-edge kitchen, living area that opens to a private deck with a hot tub, half-wall bedroom nook, and a bold black and white motif bathroom with a walk-in shower. Ideal as a guest suite, au pair quarters, or a private retreat, this additional living space expands the home’s flexibility. Just moments away from multiple trailheads and abundant open space leading up to iconic Mount Tam, this location is ideal for any outdoor enthusiast. Live amidst the Redwoods, where modern design, breathtaking natural beauty, and refined architectural sophistication come together to present an elevated Marin lifestyle experience.
