DESCRIPTION:

Main Level: Walking up the impressive stone entry steps leads the visitor to the front porch, with its airy glass doors and outlooks to greenery both in front of the house and to the rear. The custom etched glass front door opens into an impressive foyer, which showcases the unusually tall ceilings and bordered hardwood floors. The double-parlor living room is extremely large and welcoming, with a bay window and a gas fireplace with a black marble surround. This room is currently used for both seating and dining, serving as a fabulous entertaining space. Two sets of pocket glass-paned doors give the room optional separation from the family room and the entry. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room, which is currently being used as a lovely family room opening onto the eat-in kitchen as well as a large and inviting deck which, in turn, leads down onto the level yard. The sky-lit kitchen is a gourmet’s delight, with a center island, granite counters, a spacious eating area with two sets of french doors also opening onto the deck, ample cabinetry, and professional stainless steel appliances including a Viking six-burner range with griddle, built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators, and two Bosch dishwashers. A powder room, with a pedestal sink, completes this level.

Bedroom Level: The large master bedroom is at the front of the house and is nicely separated from the other bedrooms. It has a bright seating area, two terrific custom walk-in closets and a fabulous bathroom. The master bathroom has a separate W.C. enclosure, two separate sinks, one thoughtfully higher than the other, a corner shower and a big free-standing bathtub. The two other bedrooms at this level are both light and well-proportioned, with outlooks to greenery, not to mention good closets. They share a Jack-and Jill bathroom, which is attractively tiled and has a shower over the tub. On this level there is a linen closet that is big enough to accommodate a washer/dryer should a prospective buyer wish to remodel accordingly.

Top Floor: A good-sized guest room overlooks the rear yard, with pleasant eastern outlooks, a small deck and an ensuite tiled bathroom. The roomy office/den at this level has wonderful light, far-reaching northern and western views over the Presidio and two large closets as well as built-in bookshelves. A separate tiled bathroom serves the office.

Lower Level: There is a one-car garage and there are opportunities for expanding the garage and connecting it to the house with interior access, if buyers so desire. A gated side entrance allows a gardener to access the rear yard without entering the house and there is additional room for outdoor furniture etc. in this area. The family/recreation room at this level is spacious and bright, with several windows and a French door that allows for a separate entrance to this area. A large closet and well-appointed ensuite bathroom allow for alternative uses as guest or au-pair space. At this level, there is also a wine cellar, a very large laundry room with a tiled floor, and a playroom, rendering this space extremely functional and a real asset to the home.
