DESCRIPTION
On the western end of highly coveted Pacific Heights, 2 blocks south of the famed Gold Coast corridor and just east of exclusive Presidio Heights, this circa 1891 home has been masterfully renovated throughout. The top two levels, by architect Andrew Skurman, are complemented by the equally beautiful lower level, by Sutro Architects, which integrates tremendous space for media, recreation, fitness, and wine collecting. The craftsmanship is exceptional with hardwood flooring and classic moldings that honor the home’s early heritage. The use of high-quality finishes including limestone and Carrara marble is stylish and timeless, skylights with decorative enclosures provide added light, and three fireplaces enhance the ambiance.
Congenial gathering points abound, ranging from the gracious formality of the living room and beautifully proportioned dining room, to the spacious and bright great room with gourmet kitchen, to the lower level recreation room for casual enjoyment. Media needs are well taken care of with 5.1 surround sound in the great room and 7.1 in the recreation room. The home’s personal accommodations of 5 bedrooms plus office/library are thoughtfully arranged over the three levels offering flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs. Behind the scenes are numerous technological features such as programmable lighting, Nest thermostats, distributed audio, CAT6 Ethernet cable, and a SkyBell smart video doorbell. Adding the finishing touch is a charming slate tile landscaped patio with fountain off the kitchen/family room, a second-floor deck with south-facing views, and an attached 2 to 3-car garage with ample storage.
This superb residence also benefits from being just blocks away from boutique shopping and fine dining, highly regarded private schools, public transportation to downtown, as well as a short distance to Julius Kahn Playground, Alta Plaza Park, Clay Street Park, and the greenbelt of the Presidio, a 1,500-acre national park – the ultimate setting for distinguished City living.
