December 8, 2025 – Oakland,CA
Whoever said “the best views of San Francisco are from Oakland” could have had this home in mind. Upstairs and downstairs, inside and out, the home looks across the Bay at the City, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge,Richmond Bridge, Marin County, and Mount Tamalpais. The modern design home was built to capitalize on the views. Downstairs, the kitchen, dining area, and living room all look out through 10 foot
floor to ceiling windows and sliders that spill onto a generous deck to the stunning views to the west.
The spacious deck floats on a state of the art grid with no grouting (making it exceptionally easy to clean) and accommodates a 10 seat dining set, built in
grill, and sitting area with a fire pit. The deck is an entertainment hub (with an elite all weather speaker system) for gatherings large and small.
The home is the brainchild of noted architect Eric Manou, a modernist, who treats a vacant lot as “my canvas” upon which to paint. He is known for blending textures and ergonomics to create a feeling of light and air. This home is a perfect example.

About the Listing Agent
Ann Newton Cane has real estate in her blood; she was raised on a large cattle ranch near the Oregon-California border, where her parents and siblings still live.
After graduating from the University of California at Davis in 1986 with a major in Rhetoric, Ann joined the then-upstart MCI, selling telecommunications services. She raced through the sales ranks, earning every MCI honor possible for taking business away from the behemoth AT&T. She remained at MCI following its merger with WorldCom Inc., managing the company’s relationship with key global accounts such as Time Mirror, Nissan, First Interstate Bank, Kaiser Permanente, Amgen, and Wells Fargo Bank.
Dick Notebaert, CEO of Qwest Communications (now CenturyLink) persuaded Ann to join him as Qwest’s Director California region, responsible for West Coast global accounts.
Ann took a break from full-time work to raise her two children, Paul William III and Katherine. Ann then devoted herself to community activities and other volunteer work, including service on the College Preparatory School’s Board of Trustees; leadership positions in the National Charity League; Parents’ Club President at the Orinda Intermediate School; Swimming Chair of the Meadow Swim and Tennis Club; President of the Homeowners’ Association of the Grand Lodge in Deer Valley, Utah; and service on the Membership Development Committee at the Claremont Country Club in Oakland.
Ann is married to a lawyer, Paul Cane, and their children both are now studying at (and competing in swimming for) Dartmouth College.
As an empty-nester, Ann decided to further pursue her passion for sales in Lamorinda real estate.
