About this home
6 Dorothy Place is a home of rare design integrity, one that offers elegance and serenity from the moment one arrives. Set on .34 acres on a secluded cul-de-sac in the Claremont Hills, this recently renovated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom, 2,905-square-foot home stands with quiet confidence: A canopy of redwoods, oaks and Japanese maples envelops the structure, the boundary between architecture and landscape deliberately blurred.
Renowned LA-based designer Sarah Solis, lauded in Architectural Digest, Vogue, the Wall Street Journal, and elsewhere, completed the full interior in 2024 with a relentless commitment to craft. The open living areas move with ease, from a lime-washed media room anchored by a gas fireplace, through a kitchen defined by dramatic Calacatta Viola marble, soaring ceilings, and new professional-grade appliances, to a light-filled Great Room that dissolves into the tree canopy beyond through panoramic walls of glass. Materials throughout are considered and tactile—antique walnut-stained floors, original Charlotte Perriand lighting, and French oil-rubbed bronze hardware—and assembled with the kind of intention that seems effortless only in retrospect.
The lower level features the home’s three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. In the primary suite, linen-wrapped walls produce a genuinely serene retreat: a wall-to-wall headboard with floating nightstands; a spa bath with heated floors and V&A soaking tub; generous custom walk-in closets; and private access to the back garden, hot tub, and koi pond. Outside, the Zen-inspired garden, with multiple spaces for entertaining, and adjoining wooded parcel create a sense of seclusion that is rare in the Bay Area at any price point — yet the Claremont Resort and the restaurants of Rockridge and Piedmont Avenue are just minutes away.
But practicality does not take a back seat to elegance. The home has fully upgraded HVAC with multi-zone heating and air conditioning, a Vivint security system, Lutron Smart Home drapes and lights in every room, a whole-home audio system with ceiling-mounted speakers throughout, a 75-inch Samsung Frame television, and elite appliances from Sub-Zero, Miele, Wolf and others. Offering exceptional flexibility, the home can be readily configured as a four-bedroom residence and includes 200 square feet of storage with future finishing potential.
This is more than a beautiful property – it is a home with a point of view. Its buyer will be someone who values exceptional design, not as an aesthetic preference, but as a way of living....
