FEATURES:

At the Front Door, leaded glass side-lights and transom window look up to staircase landing with massive leaded windows with Golden Gate Bridge & Marin Headland outlooks. In the Front Hall, convenient access to the elevator at accesses all three floors of the house. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level create a magnificent flow from the entrance to double doors left and right that open onto a formal living room and dining room.

The Living Room incorporates handsome details - full wainscoting, pediments, and dentil crown molding along the high ceilings. The focus of this room is the grand fireplace with its large mantle and marble surround. The dining room is gracious with accented molding, built-in smoked mirroring, and tall windows.
   
   
   
   
   

The Kitchen is roomy and very nicely remodeled with dark-stained oak cabinetry and top of the line appliances. There are two sinks in the main kitchen area, one at a window and one in the large island. There is a four-burner commercial gas range with both a grill and a griddle. There is an additional sink in the butler pantry area. An informal dining table is comfortably placed with plenty of room for a full seating arrangement around the built-in entertainment center. This is adjacent to a convenient rear hall in which is located the well-accoutered laundry room and elegant powder room.
   
   
   

Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms are on the same level. The master suite is located on the corner of the house, with multiple windows providing wonderful natural light. There is an en-suite dressing room with a double marble-topped vanity, and a separate shower with water closet enclosure. There is also a separate walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms at this level both overlook the front lawn. They are bright and airy with each accessing a bathroom, one with a marble-topped vanity and shower over the tiled tub, and the other with a deep tub (and hand-held shower) decked in rich marble. This bathroom can also be accessed from the fourth room, which is unique.
   
   
   
   

This handsome room, used as a library, office, or fourth bedroom, faces the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands. Legend has it that in the 1930s and 40s, this perch was often used for secret meetings with the Mayor of San Francisco and local business leaders. The “castle” as it was called, is truly one-of-a kind with handsome paneling, a beamed cathedral ceiling and wide plank floors. There are windows on three sides with a wood-burning fireplace (with gas log lighter). On either side of the mantle are built-in bookcases - one of which conceals a secret bar used during Prohibition times. This room, with a working nickel sink, has been appropriately updated with state-of-the-art double wine coolers. This library “castle” is the ultimate retreat.
   
   

At the lower level of the house, there is the spacious family or play room, as well as another private bedroom with an en-suite remodeled bathroom. There is also a very large store room and a spacious two car garage. The elevator services this level making bringing up luggage or groceries truly convenient. There is access to the small rear yard, which has a working green house, and the private rear driveway.
   
   
   

The construction details throughout the house speak to the quality including copper-lined gutters and vent caps, as well as the slate-tiled roof. The architect, Earle B. Bertz (1885-1948) was a highly regarded San Francisco architect who designed many Sea Cliff homes. On Lake Street, 2900 and 2910, as well as 270 Sea Cliff Avenue were some of the highlights of his career. This type of gracious, enduring house is hard to find in San Francisco especially in such a lovely setting and pristine location.
