DESCRIPTION:

Located on a charming alley steps from Coit Tower, this four-bedroom, four and one-half bath home has an unassuming façade framed by a beautiful tree.  The airy, high-ceilinged entry leads directly up to the Main Level, with its great room opening out onto a deck and dramatic views of Washington Square, Nob Hill, Coit Tower, the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. The open-plan kitchen has white cabinetry, with great storage inserts, and dark granite countertops. The sink is under a bank of windows that overlooks the lane and feels very private nestled in the trees. There is a second prep sink, a large professional Thermador stainless steel range with six burners and a grill, oven and warming oven, a Miele dishwasher and a trash compactor.  The adjacent dining area has a built-in granite countertop and additional storage. The living room area is sunken so as to create additional dramatic ceiling height and the room has built-in shelving flanking a gas fireplace. A powder room with a curved counter top completes this level.

At the top of the stairs on the Upper level, there is a cozy den/library with a fireplace and wet bar with small undercounter refrigerator. A spacious office has commanding views and opens onto a greenhouse and view balcony. Stunning picture windows frame Coit Tower throughout this level, which is completed by an attractive guest bedroom and an adjacent marble bathroom.

The Lower Level is almost exclusively devoted to a fabulous master bedroom suite, with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Russian Hill. This room has a small deck, a fireplace, two walk-in closets and a large and sumptuously appointed bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and double marble sinks.

The Garden level has a large double bedroom with French doors opening onto a spacious tiled patio/garden. A full bathroom, storage room, and various utility closets complete this level.

A large au pair suite/office, that can also serve as a bedroom, has a separate staircase off the entry. From this location, an immense storage "attic" area can be accessed. The ensuite bathroom has a steam shower and houses the washer/dryer.  Windows from the bedroom to the entry create a wonderful airy feel.

Finally, the garage affords two-car tandem parking with a hydraulic elevator.  It has interior access directly to the entry.
