The story
Coming in off the street, you enter a warm and welcoming traditional foyer to change your shoes, drop your keys, and hang your coat. Marble floors, a beautiful fireplace, and an elegant staircase introduces you to a home where timeless San Francisco architecture meets gracious, comfortable living. Ascending to the main level, you enter a welcoming receiving area with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a fireplace. Beyond, the light-filled living room invites you to relax, enjoy a book from the built-in shelves, or gather with friends. The gracious dining room opens to a terrace with greenery and city views, perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or watching the Blue Angels. Stairs off the terrace lead to a beautifully landscaped patio garden. The spacious kitchen overlooks the garden and city, featuring upgraded appliances, two sinks, a central peninsula, and informal dining. A door opens to the flower-lined terrace, making indoor-outdoor entertaining easy. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a sitting area, walk-in closet, built-ins, and views of Alcatraz, the bay, and the Transamerica Pyramid. French doors open to a rose-lined terrace. The primary bath features a jetted soaking tub, and separate steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. The top floor offers a generous family room with fireplace and adjoining library/office with built-in bookshelves. A cozy window settee captures spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, and Bay. Two more bedrooms and a full bathroom are also on this top level. Back downstairs, a private entrance leads to a separate guest studio with kitchen, full bath, and access to the landscaped backyard. Just a short stroll away are the fashionable cafes, restaurants, and boutiques of Union Street, Chestnut Street, and Fillmore Street. Throughout the home, views of the North Bay, iconic San Francisco landmarks, and the eastern city skyline provide an ever-changing backdrop. Sunlight moves through the generous rooms, terraces invite you outdoors, and thoughtfully connected living spaces offer places to gather as well as places to retreat. This is a home that lives as beautifully as it entertains elegant without being formal, spacious yet intimate, and filled with the warmth, character, and the extraordinary views that make San Francisco living so special.
