Single Family Residence In San Francisco

Beneath all, is the land, & this land is prime! Walkable to Forest Hill Station, West Portal and Inner Sunset destinations, without trudging steep hills. Sited on one of the better lots along the coveted western slope of Midtown Terrace, this home is perched well above neighboring properties to the west, affording rarified privacy & lovely outlooks to open space. From the curb, tailored Mid-Century Traditional cues create tremendous appeal, beginning with a peaked roofline that provides a hint of the home space inside. Inspired by the promise of dramatic volume & light, & under the direction of Ogle Architecture, the current owner opted for a vaulted open beam ceiling in the main living area, to take full advantage of the soaring roofline, & the opportunity to illuminate the space with strategically placed skylights, including one which frames views of Sutro Tower. The room is punctuated with cross beams boxed in white oak, & a sophisticated lighting system. All walls were completely removed to fully marry living, dining, & kitchen areas, yielding a thoroughly Modern, easy-living space for enjoying downtime, or gathering together. Walls for fine art & elegant glass panels frame the entry, which opens widely to the main living area. The kitchen takes center stage, with fixtures & finishes worthy of showcasing. Fitted with more than ample cabinetry, generous counter space, & a large island with a dining bar, the kitchen is as functional, as it is beautiful. A fluted porcelain tile surround accents the fireplace in the living room. The dining area features hand painted wall coverings, & a monumental chandelier of brass & acrylic crystals. Two bedrooms, one en suite & a guest bath complete the main level. Each bedroom offers a quiet sense of retreat, with views over the garden & open space beyond. Custom casework provides ample wardrobe space, while maximizing efficiency & clean sightlines. The bathrooms are finished with timeless tilework & crisp modern vanities. Downstairs is a family room with wine storage & plenty of cabinetry. A third bedroom, & full bath are cloistered for quiet & privacy. A bright office area & laundry facilities, fitted with storage & folding surfaces complete the lower level. A lush garden with western exposure provides a perfect balance of planted beds, flagstone patios, and decking. Updated systems, EV charger + new roof complete the home.
