DESCRIPTION
On the western end of highly coveted Pacific Heights, 2 blocks south of San Francisco’s famed Gold Coast corridor and just east of exclusive Presidio Heights, this home has been masterfully renovated and expanded from top to bottom. The craftsmanship throughout is exceptional with walnut floors in every room and classic millwork and columns that honor the home’s early heritage, yet are equally sophisticated and appealing today. The selections of lighting are dazzling and unique, the color palette sublimely soothing, and stone finishes – primarily Carrara and Calacatta marbles – a seamless blend of hues. The result is luxurious, stylish, and timeless.
The fabulously modernized home is designed with 4 levels above the garage, all connected by elevator for ease of use, and all with radiant-heated floors underfoot. Spacious formal rooms give way to warm and comfortable rooms for everyday living with an integrated chef’s kitchen and access to a magnificent rear terrace outlined with foliage. A lower level provides added flexible space for library and/or executive office needs along with a sommelier-worthy wine cellar and state-of-the-art home theatre.
The top two floors of the residence are devoted to the home’s personal accommodations, complete with two well-appointed master bedroom suites, one on each level, and each with dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and Marin Headlands. Two roof-top decks offer enchanting venues to savor the views both north and south. Behind the scenes are numerous technological features such as programmable lighting, distributed audio, and the one-touch convenience of a Savant system with iPad/iPhone control for security, sound, and environment. Adding the finishing touch to this remarkable property is its desirable setting in Pacific Heights, less than one block to the greenbelt of the Presidio – a 1,500-acre national park.
