description:

Originally built in 1919, this elegant Sea Cliff residence combines the craftsmanship and refinement of an earlier era with completely contemporary style, comfort, and amenities for indoor/outdoor living. Richly hued hardwood flooring, black walnut built-ins, and crisp white original millwork add weight and texture to the tranquil palette that artfully blends neutral tones with dashes of sophisticated color, including putty, warm grey, sage, and Wedgwood blue. Brightly illuminated throughout by skylights, banks of tall windows, and dimmable recessed halogen fixtures, the open and flowing design boasts generous formal rooms plus an eminently livable family room. Sleek focal points include a substantial granite-faced fireplace and wall of functional and attractive media storage. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath floorplan is highlighted by a romantic master suite, complete with a sumptuous, marble-finished private bath, skylit walk-in closet, and French doors to an expansive deck with city lights views. Just a few blocks from China Beach, Lincoln Park Golf Course, and the tremendous Golden Gate National Recreation Area, this exceptional offering in a renowned San Francisco neighborhood promises a feeling of miles-away peace and quiet plus all the best urban conveniences.
