At the cusp of Duboce Triangle, Hayes Valley, and the Lower Haight, this beautifully updated home pairs timeless San Francisco character with luxurious modern amenities. Period details, including picture rails, coved ceilings, wainscoting, and handsome fireplace mantels, bring warmth and charm, while wide-plank wood floors, designer wallpaper, and designer paint colors create a modernized, luxurious feel. With natural light pouring in throughout the day via large windows on three sides, 257 Waller is exceptionally bright. The classic living and dining rooms are each anchored by original fireplaces that have been beautifully updated with modern tile and stone surrounds.

The public rooms feature gorgeous wide-plank Bergerac oak floors in a warm, rustic natural oil finish. The dining room connects seamlessly to the kitchen through a charming pass-through and doorway, while a glass-front display cabinet offers a modern nod to the built-in cabinetry of the Edwardian era. The chef's kitchen is equally suited to casual dinners and large holiday gatherings, with generous counter space, abundant cabinetry, and a full suite of high-end appliances including a Bertazzoni range, Bosch dishwasher and microwave, and wine refrigerator. With a 322-bottle wine cellar on hand, guests are sure to linger. This blend of function, character, and sophisticated finishes continues into the spacious bedrooms tucked away at the rear of the home. The south-facing bedrooms overlook a lushly landscaped shared backyard. New carpeting adds comfort and quiet underfoot. A flexible third room can easily be enclosed for use as a bedroom, library, or office. The home also features a stylish powder room and coordinating spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower, deep jetted soaking tub, and luxurious copper-toned woven wallpaper. Add'l amenities include in-unit, side-by-side Miele washer/dryer and deeded storage.
