The story

  • Basement

Beautiful Excelsior residence with contemporary and period features. Modern right from the start. The 1990s build is years ahead of a typical 1920s Excelsior home. Updates as recent as 2012, including windows, roof, floors, and more, make it all the better. The upper level features a spacious living room with picturesque windows that take full advantage of the setting sun to warm your evenings, and pride of ownership shines through. The upper, main level features a modern design with entertaining in mind. A functional and welcoming combining the living room with a nicely placed fireplace and the full dining room. The natural flow leads to a pass-through bar from the modern kitchen with well-appointed appliances. Updates include newer floors and granite countertops, all showing true pride of ownership. Its SW orientation and the 4 skylights in the house take advantage of natural light. The views from the rear complete that package. Awesome downtown views from the nice deck at the rear -- off the primary bedroom with its own full bathroom. The additional 2 bedrooms on this floor complete this level. The middle-level (street) features a 3+ (SXS) car garage, laundry area, egress to the yard, and some storage areas; here too are the furnace and robust water heater. And yes, there is more. Lower, 3rd level below street, features fully independent living quarters with its own bath -- rumpus room? game room? study? or whatever you might want to do in the privacy of your imagination. Low-maintenance yard has additional portable storage huts which may be removed. Turnkey home offering plenty of space, flexibility, and iconic SF skyline views; but you can always enhance that with your own personal flair. Walk to Balboa Park BART station, or a short drive to freeway access for the commute; or, if public transit is your preferred transport, that too is within walking distance from here. Libraries, shops, parks, schools, and places of worship are likewise nearby in this very cohesive neighborhood known as San Francisco's #TheExcelosior district.
