Magnificent Modern Home at 20 Westgate Drive, San Rafael, CA

SOLD

20 Westgate Drive in Upper Lucas Valley

Our buyers just purchased this dramatic and unique home in Upper Lucas Valley, next to breathtaking rolling hills, protected open space, and George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch. Madeline Schaider represented the buyers.

The building was designed and constructed by Sonoma architect and artist James Shay in 1994 on an acre of land. The house has three sections:

Three attached modules about 25 feet high with curved roofs. These modules open to the grass- and tree-covered hills to the north. The middle module was originally an open breezeway. This module was enclosed and converted to a kitchen and dining area during a major reconfiguration of the interior by the second owner. The end modules provide two large living areas, a circular open loft, and an upstairs bedroom suite with a large deck.
A linear wing contains the main entrance, a primary bedroom suite, a second bedroom suite, large living spaces, and a double garage.
A small detached circular building with two levels that can have many functions; for example, an office or exercise room.
