This $14.5 Million Bay Area Estate Features a Tennis Court and Rose Gardens

, just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and right next door to Oakland, one might say it resembles more of a close-knit village than “the City of Millionaires,” which is its historic moniker. Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood, tennis star Brad Gilbert, and e’s Dean Butler were raised among the area’s lavish estates and rolling hills.

Known primarily for his Craftsman and Georgian-style designs, American architect Albert Farr designed this 1926 house in an Italianate style. Dubbed Hampton House, the stately heritage mansion sits on an acre of land with eight bedrooms and baths, plus a powder room, spread out over 11,870 square feet. Along with its updated luxuries and regal appeal, the home offers a slate of leisure and recreation amenities, including a tennis court surrounded by lush hedges.

For Hampton House, Farr used a classic pairing of white stucco with terracotta roofing for the exterior. Inside, the renovated and updated interiors include a light-filled foyer that showcases hardwood floors and a bevy of arched windows. A carved marble fireplace anchors the formal living room, which is filled with natural light thanks to an abundance of windows, and for holidays and special occasions, the dining room, with a coved ceiling and French doors, offers room for at least 10 guests.

The spacious nearby kitchen fronts beautiful dark wood floors that boldly contrast with black, custom cabinetry and the island’s marble countertop. Other culinary highlights include high-end appliances, from a gas range to convection ovens, plus a breakfast bar. The primary suite is serene and spacious, with a marble-trimmed wood-burning fireplace. There are not just one but two full bathrooms, along with two closets, a sunroom, and a private deck.

The grounds are equally well appointed. One corner of the backyard patio features a fire pit with plenty of seating space. Other parts of the terraced gardens include thick carpets of grass, rose gardens, and a graveled dining patio amid sculpted plantings. High hedging hides the tennis court from the rest of the yard. A guest or staff apartment on top of the garage completes the package.Demetrius Simms is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
