DESCRIPTION

Located on the premier corner lot introducing the renowned Gold Coast of Pacific Heights – just three blocks of the City’s most grand mansions. • One of the highest elevations in Pacific Heights with unparalleled views spanning from the Golden Gate Bridge in the west to the City skyline in the east. • Originally built in 1910, entirely rescripted and architecturally restored in 2002 by Moller Willrich Architecture and Design. • A personal oasis in the heart of the city, presenting refined elegance, an eminently livable family design, with extraordinary walk-out gardens and three rooftop terraces. • Seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and four half-baths, plus two family rooms, two offices, two kitchens, a basketball/sport court, plus a multitude of rooms for today’s active lifestyle. • Five levels, all accessible by commercial grade elevator, comprising over 16,000 square feet. • Classical architecture, pure lines, properness of scale with superb millwork and hand-planed, wide-plank walnut floors on all levels: the perfect canvas for divergent genres and styles. • Timeless materials, fixtures, and finishes, all of the highest quality, crafted by the best artisans their trades have to offer. • As of 2002, full seismic upgrade to the property and entirely new mechanical systems: electrical, plumbing, heating. Virtually all new exterior materials and interior surfaces and fixtures all of the highest degree. Also completely updated with data communication, A/V, and security. • Side-by-side garage parking for two cars. • Privately positioned on a 66’ by 137’ lot bordered on three sides by garden terraces and a level south lawn, and complete privacy, sheltered from the street. The main level of the home is host to everyday and formal rooms that flow together in understated elegance. The entrance salon showcases a grand staircase that accesses the top two levels and precedes the formal living room and dining room. A hallway leads to the heart of the home, which is a central gathering space that features an epicurean kitchen seamlessly connected to a casual dining room, breakfast nook, family room, and intimate library. A rare walk-out south garden and brick terrace wrap around the home inviting outdoor living in a private setting. The second floor is devoted to the family living quarters. The east end is comprised of four bedrooms, connected to one another through two shared bathrooms and a shared dressing closet. The west wing encompasses the expansive master suite, formerly the library, which maintains the handsome classical detailing, intricate moldings, and original fireplace. There is an immense bay window that captures extraordinary views toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Continuing up the main staircase to the upper-most level, the inspired vision of the home is capped by three rooftop terraces, all with commanding views of iconic San Francisco landmarks. Inside, the upper floor plan offers an abundance of space given to the pursuits of leisure, study, and play with a family room, game room, two offices, plus a full kitchen, dining area, and guest suite. Play and recreation are the theme of the home’s two lower levels with a media room, art room, and indoor basketball/sport court adjoining a fresh-air terrace for outdoor enjoyment. An au pair suite, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and attached two-car garage add convenience. Throughout the home, 21st century amenities quietly hum behind the scenes, with touch-control for light, sound and temperature.
