DESCRIPTION:

The first level of this special home features an enclosed porch entryway, gracious foyer, powder room, and formal living room with a fireplace, custom oak cabinets with glass fronts and interior lighting (wall-to-wall) and nice Southern outlooks. The gracious kitchen/great room has been tremendously remodeled with the best of stainless steel appliances (Wolf 6-Burner range, SubZero refrigerator, warming tray, and in-island wine refrigerator), custom cherry cabinets with glass fronts and interior lighting, granite counters, tumbled marble backsplash, excellent storage, and a breakfast bar with a prep sink. The kitchen leads out to a sunny deck with downtown views overlooking the lush garden. Stairs from the kitchen lead directly down to the lower level.

Upstairs is the master suite with a charming bay window, three good-size closets, and a glamorous ensuite travertine and limestone bath with a beautiful walk-in double shower enclosure, double sinks, and extra storage. Two additional bedrooms are at this level, both wonderfully proportioned, with windows overlooking the garden and enjoying the view. Both these bedrooms are served by a stunning hallway bath with custom stone finishes and a shower over the oversized soaking tub. This level also has access to the partially finished extra-large attic space and small viewing deck.

The lower level has a fantastic family room that also functions nicely as beautiful guest accommodations, with French doors leading directly out to the patio and garden. This level includes a full bath and a very large laundry room/work space with direct access to the interior garage. Through the garden is an additional large, detached 1-car garage that could be used as a workshop or studio. This garage is on a separate lot and has an easement for a very long driveway, accessed from Upper Terrace, that could park two more cars.

The location of the property is fabulous, on a quiet tree-lined street but within walking distance to the Cole Valley, Castro and Haight/Ashbury neighborhoods as well as Golden Gate Park. The property was completely and totally renovated in 2001, with further architectural upgrades in 2010 including rebuilding and enclosing the front porch and repainting/refinishing the entire house and garage. The quality of the remodeling and structural upgrading that has been done make this property one-of-a-kind.
