Northern California Real Estate
A wonderful warm home with five bedrooms, a family room and a large office. A level, grassy yard, decks with outlooks over the Presidio, two-car parking and massive storage complete the amenities of this lovely house in its prized, quiet location on a cul-de-sac that directly accesses the Presidio Park and golf-course.
A handsome front door opens into an inviting entrance. On the front of the house is a gracious, bright living room with a wide decorative balcony. The wood-burning fireplace has a marble surround and hearth. As in many of the rooms, there are built-in speakers.
The large dining room opens onto the decked porch and level lawn. Another pretty fireplace graces this room as well as built-in hutch with glass fronted cabinets.
The kitchen is large and open with a comfortable family/eating area as well as a built-in desk area and direct access to the porch and yard. There is an oversized sink in a large granite-topped island. The cook-top is gas and there are double ovens, a built-in microwave, a trash-compactor, a Miele dishwasher and a Subzero refrigerator with adjacent under-counter freezer drawers.
The entire main level has wood floors. A coat-closet and large powder room with a built-in storage cabinet complete this level.
The garden is particularly attractive and usable, being accessed as it is from both the kitchen and the dining room. It is open and bright, quite flat and attractively landscaped.
A sturdy stairway leads up to the bedroom level with light cast from a custom leaded glass window. The master bedroom is ideally situated with a big bay window overlooking the yard. A French door opens onto a deck. There are ample closets with mirrored doors and customized interiors. The ensuite marble bathroom has an oversized shower.
Two other spacious and charming bedrooms are on this floor. Both have built-in desks and are bright and well-proportioned. There is a large bedroom at the front of the house with a large closet, currently used as a family room. This has another nice fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and cabinetry. This room has hardwood floors where the other bedrooms have been carpeted. An oversized linen closet and a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub serve these bedrooms.
The skylit top floor includes a great family room with a fireplace, built-in T.V. cabinet and ample storage under the eaves. The windows have views as far as Saint Ignatius. There is a cozy bedroom with a built-in desk and a large office with interesting nooks and eaves that opens onto a splendid deck overlooking gardens and the trees of the Presidio.
In the basement there is a wine cellar and a very large storage room with an additional separate storage area. The basement does open out to sunken steps directly up to the yard. There is a large two-car garage and additional room for parking in the driveway.
