Description:

The entire front façade has been rebuilt in an Italianate townhouse style while maintaining certain key historic features such as the mullioned windows at the family room and the arched window at the living room. A decorative security gate ushers the visitor up the staircase to a stunning arched glass entry door, past a sheltered front patio with landscaping and a seating area. The English entry leads up to a welcoming foyer from which both the lovely water and the Golden Gate Bridge views can be seen as well as the garden outlooks.

The living room has an antique marble mantel gracing the large wood-burning fireplace. A long window seat allows for ample additional seating under the pretty arched window of the bay. The formal dining room has a coffered ceiling and corner glass-fronted storage cabinets. French doors lead out to the sunny South garden with its fountain and terraced landscaping. The kitchen has custom painted cabinetry that affords an enormous amount of storage. The honed granite counter tops are easy-care and, again, provide ample counter space for two or even three cooks to work comfortably. A backsplash of hammered copper bordered in granite lends warmth and drama to the kitchen. There is a convenient peninsula that allows for a couple of bar-stools and defines a bar and serving area. The eating area at the other end of the kitchen is delightful, nestled among the flowers in the garden patio. Appliances are all professional-quality and stainless-steel, and include a six-burner range with grill and a heavy-duty hood-fan, 48-inch wide refrigerator with ice and water in the door, three dishwashers, one Bosch and two Fisher-Paykel drawers, a microwave and wine refrigerator. Pantry cabinets either side of the refrigerator have pull-out drawers. This level is completed by a guest coat closet, elegant powder room and utility closet.

   
     
   
       
   
   
       
The master bedroom has a full view of the Golden Gate Bridge which can be enjoyed from the bed. There are two separate walk-in closets and an attached master bathroom which has fabulous limestone surfaces with decorative tile and copper inserts. The bathroom has an extra-large shower with multiple shower-heads, a Jacuzzi deep-soaking tub with hand-held shower head, two sinks, a dressing-table, a separate toilet and bidet enclosure and a heated towel rack as well a heated floor for a warm enveloping experience. The other two bedrooms on this level are bright and spacious with peaceful garden outlooks. Both have built-in desks and shelving. One has an ensuite bathroom; the other has the bathroom across the hall, but has its own balcony. This level is completed by a small laundry center with side-by-side appliances and a linen closet.    
       
       
       
     
The top floor has panoramic views, which can be enjoyed from the open-plan family room with its two sets of French doors accessing a balcony that runs across the front of the house. This bright, casual room has a flat-screen T.V. with a surround sound-system, a wet bar and under-counter fridge as well as a well-equipped desk area which enjoys the full impact of the views. Both this room and the adjacent office have wood-burning fireplaces. The office has handsome mahogany cabinetry and crown-molding. It can, of course, also be used as a bedroom and is served by a nice bathroom done in blue and beige limestone. French doors access a very large south-facing deck directly from this room. This floor has a separate heating system.    
     
   
     

Going back down to the entry level, there is a very large guest-suite, home office or family room at this level, with built-in cabinetry, its own sound system, wet-bar, mini-refrigerator and freezer. The ensuite bathroom is stylishly done in honed black granite and Carrera marble with a long counter, tub and extra-large steam shower. The room is currently being used as a teenager’s bedroom, but the wall-to-wall-carpeting is loose-laid over new bordered hardwood floors and obviously the cabinets can be painted in a choice of colors. A great deal of soundproofing has been built-into the walls and ceiling so that remarkably little noise emanates from this room. At this level, there is a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a family coat-closet, an additional half-bath, a big laundry-room and a walk-in storage room. A quirk of the house is that there are original stairs that lead from the laundry room up under the kitchen (which has a concealed trap-door in the floor) for very occasional use to enable the gardener to access the garden without going through the public rooms. Interior carpeted stairs lead down to the two-car side by side garage, which has built-in shelving for additional storage. This completes this comprehensively and thoughtfully remodeled family home.
