DESCRIPTION
Tucked away on the last block of Union Street just before the 1,500-acre Presidio National Recreation Area, this Cow Hollow home is a treasured gem dating back to 1912. The classic shingle style, popular at the turn of the century, still boasts impressive curb appeal today, blending in seamlessly with the iconic architectural styles of this neighborhood on the edge of Pacific Heights. The interiors are freshly updated with a crisp white palette and contrasting refinished hardwood floors – ready to move in and enjoy or further transform into your own personal vision. Of-the-era moldings and millwork are timeless and elegant, particularly in the classic living room and formal dining room which, along with the kitchen, comprise the main level.
There are 5 floors in this home, each ascending to better views of the San Francisco Bay with Alcatraz Island center stage.
