Situated on the slope of Mount Sutro in San Francisco. This sophisticated sanctuary takes advantage of the lush site in a dense eucalyptus grove, and uses the windows to frame the views from Buena Vista Park to downtown and beyond.
Sustainably harvested ipe (a tropical hardwood) creates a bridge between the entrance and the front door, made of aluminum; the stainless-steel railings have been designed to withstand damage from moisture.
Inside, the house is light-filled with sun streaming in through the high windows, an effect heightened by such details as beech wood flooring, and each window framing a different scene as if it were an individual piece of artwork. In the kitchen, a custom 20 foot stainless-steel countertop is the focal point of this state-of-the-art chef's kitchen.
The main level consists of a large open living room with views to downtown, kitchen, formal dining room, media room and powder room.
Downstairs, is the master suite with ensuite bath featuring a custom granite sink, oak counter and cabinets, mosaic floor tiles, steam shower and a soaking tub overlooking the vibrant green forest. The adjacent dressing area has banks of built-in, floor-to-ceiling cabinets. In addition this floor has two spacious guest rooms, a guest bath and a large laundry room with side x side washer and dryer.
The lower floor has a home office and gym. The gym with high ceilings offers direct access to the lush landscaped garden and the hot tub.
The two car garage will accommodate two large vehicles.
