Mid-Century Modern Hillside Home in Glen Ellen Listed for $5.3 Million

The three-bedroom, three-and-half-bathroom home overlooking Sonoma Valley was inspired by Philip Johnson's famed Glass House.


A three-bedroom, three-and-half-bathroom, 2,906-square-foot home, built into the contour of a hillside overlooking Sonoma Valley, is currently listed for $5,300,000. The home features an inspired mix of exquisite design elements, natural surroundings, and panoramic views of Sonoma and San Francisco.

The modernity of the circa-2008 building, plus angular palms and a pool, gives something of a mid-century Southern California vibe. The home, at 2947 Cavedale Road in Glen Ellen, was previously owned by tech CEO Bill Cook.

A design of Portico West, the dwelling was inspired by a Portugal home made out of glass placed between two rocks, and also the Glass House by Philip Johnson.

Interior elements — such as blown-glass bubble chandeliers, teak cabinets and a show-stopping onyx wall in the wine cellar — enliven the space.
