These Estate Gates art the entry were harvested from a Marin Mansion & have  stained glass inserts in each gate.  The colors of the house, paints on the gates and colors and design of the mosaic patio and walkways were all the brainchild of local artist, authoress & horticulturalist, Keeyla Meadows of Albany.  Keeyla integrated 10 more wrought iron fixtures and designed year-round MAGICAL gardens in the front, as well as the back Upper & Lower Gardens creating a magnificent place to relax and enjoy the wonderful climate that Upper Rockridge residents hold as their own special secret.

The home lies in a long rectangle on the lot so it appears deceivingly smaller from the curb view.  Keeyla Meadows designed the whimsical gardens, colors of the house and front bench which allows you to sit and enjoy the filtered view of the Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais and Alcatraz on a clear day.  The view in the next shots is shot on an average day. 

Front Gardens are year-round with tulips under the umbrella tree slightly fading as the roses are beginning to bloom.

There is a concert of color with the genius of the many textured mosaic tile lay-our on the patio is further accented by the matching pottery painted by Keeyla, the designer artist with the backdrop of the colors she selected for the house and trim.

The front windows have a view to the right that is wondrous on a clear day. The hardwood floors and curved archways within provide grace and elegance to the functional floorplan of the 1090 sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow ideal for all in one floor carefree living.

Open access dining area provides good floor-floor between the kitchen and living room.

The new permitted quartz & white shaker kitchen has more than double the storage from before the remodel. The stainless steel gas range and dishwasher are new. The Underneath the Pass-Through opening to the hallway is space for front-loading washer & dryer.  The pass through allows more natural light to filter into the hallway and the cabinets a 2 sets of doubled up cabinets which open on either side for ease of access & increased storage capacity. Multiple outlets on the pass-through quartz counter provide an excellent electronics charging station.

This Art Deco Bath has an overhead light brought from Chicago Antique Store and the Lighted Medicine Cabinet is an antique from Seattle. It was remodeled in 2000 complete with a shower seat.

Each Bedroom comes equipped with California Closets inserts which maximize storage & space utility. The master has a dual-paned slider that leads out to the magic of the lower gardens in the rear. The Art Deco lighting is different in every room.

The Guest House has a studio with built-in dresser, kitchenette with a mini refrigerator under the cabinet and microwave nook. The sink is a Sheryl Wagner of NY scalloped floral porcelain sink set into a glossy finished cement vanity top.  The overhead lamp came from a Seattle Antique store. (Don't miss the pretty stained glass window over the bathroom door.)

​The tub surround is tiled with imported Italian Red Porcelain tiles. 

There are 2 gorgeous stained glass windows one above the doorway to the bath and the other straight off to the right with a gorgeous view of the gardens in the Guest Cottage Bathroom.
