Northern California Real Estate
This rare and secluded Telegraph Hill home is a blend of classic architecture and modern sophistication. Boasting sweeping views of the Bay Bridge to Downtown the home captures the essence of City living. Recently remodeled, the exterior was finished with ship lapped redwood siding, typical of the area's late-1800s housing stock, and the doors and windows reflect period details like the handsome eared casings and braketed meeting rails. Other details, like the facade's dentiled cornice, were influenced by local examples.
The living room and dining room span the forty-five foot width of the lot and command the views, which are both panoramic yet intimate during the day and dramatically illuminated at night. Off the living room is the warm and inviting den with French doors leading to the brick patio garden. The sky-lit kitchen, also recently remodeled, features granite counters, top of the line appliances, and a pantry.
The master bedroom suite is at the rear of the home, and features French doors which lead to the garden. The master bath contains a walk-in shower and free standing tub. A lovely guest bedroom and bath is also on the main level with French doors to the garden. The third bedroom, on the lower level, is a suite with bedroom, bath and sitting room. It is finished in fabric walls and features Bay Bridge views.
It is unusual to find a property in San Francisco with both spectacular views and a walk-out garden, but this is the exception. The garden here is a delight, combining a bricked patio with extensive planted areas containing camellias, hydrangeas, roses, wisteria, and a fragrant lemon tree bursting with fruit. Eucalyptus and juniper trees at the back of the garden can be a hangout for the flock of wild parrots that flits through the neighborhood.
The garage, with interior access, will hold two cars side by side. Additional guest parking is courtesy of the cul de sac which ends at the property line. There is a separate tradesman's entrance for the gardener. Amenities include beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level, crown moldings, speaker system in the den, security system, central heat and air conditioning, and central vacuum system.
