Property Description

A significant garden is time made visible...and so with this historic view home, the inspiring garden is lush evidence of the decades of joyous life which have unfolded there. This inspiring domestic narrative, spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, is a rare blend of elegance, warmth, and functionality, encompassing a rich, generational embrace, set in an A+ Noe Valley location. Emphasizing the vertical proportions of quintessential Victorian architecture, impressive volumes introduce the residence with soaring ceilings, accented by ornate ceiling medallions and plaster detailing, and tall windows flooding the home with natural light. An intelligent layout of living, dining, family room, and glorious sunroom library are organized around the sun-drenched custom kitchen, designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Oak hardwood floors, ornate built-ins, decorative wood-burning fireplace and hallway gallery add a sense of comfort, usefulness and approachability. Upstairs, a dramatic architect designed expansion incorporates the coveted floor-plan of three bedrooms and two bright bathrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with multiple picture windows framing expansive Southeastern views of the valley and surrounding gardens. Walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and access to a garden view deck offer comfort and ease of the primary suite. The airy mezzanine library connects all three bedrooms, the peaked skylights allow natural light to pour throughout the residence while providing an ideal shared space to read, work, or unwind. The garden level of the home offers exceptional flexibility with a media room, office/ gym/ 5th bed and a bedroom suite perfectly suited for guests, extended family, or an au pair. The dedicated laundry room is at this level with interior access to the small garage for storage. A marvelous profusion of heirloom apple trees, heritage roses, citrus and willows, the mature, level landscape offers true outdoor living spaces including culinary garden beds, grassy play space and a host of carefully selected plantings resulting in a private retreat with patio dining, built-in seating and firepit for year-round entertaining and relaxation. Perfectly positioned in Noe Valley, just moments from beloved neighborhood destinations including Neighbors Corner, Kite Hill and the vibrant boutiques, cafes, and restaurants along 24th Street, this remarkable residence offers the very best of San Francisco living.
