This phenomenal, light-filled one-level Ranch-style Pacific Ocean view home built in 1952 is beautifully situated on a premier oversized corner lot and wonderful tree-lined block in the heart of historic St. Francis Wood!

The spectacular living room with huge picture windows and sweeping views from the Olympic Club to the Pacific Ocean boasts a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, massive limestone surround and stone mantel, chic wall sconces, recessed lighting, built-in ceiling speakers and gleaming hardwood floors. The banquet-size dining room with remarkable 12-pendant chandelier and terrific sideboard with ample storage and slow-close drawers is perfect for entertaining! The exceptional, state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen with picturesque outlooks and adjacent walk-out patio with two electric heaters showcases all stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf five-burner gas stovetop, Viking oven and microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, gorgeous soapstone counters with subway tile backsplash, handsome rift-sawn white oak cabinets with slow-close and specialty drawers, pantry, big work-island with lunch bar and a delightful breakfast corner with built-in banquette.

A comfortable, spacious family room with built-in media center, a fabulous laundry room with washer, dryer, utility sink and folding table, and an attractive marble tile full bath with walk-in shower and pedestal sink end the social wing of the home. A wide, expansive hallway with dramatic skylight and linen and shoe closets leads to the sumptuous private living quarters. The grand master suite with marvelous Pacific Ocean views features a fantastic custom walk-in closet with built-in clothes racks, shoe cubicles and dresser drawers with overhead shelving, and a private marble tile bath with radiant heated floors, dual vanity sink with mirrors and medicine cabinets, and a luxurious walk-in shower. Four additional good-size bedrooms - all with tremendous built-in custom closets and motion sensor lights, two with views to the courtyard and one with views to the Pacific Ocean - and a third tiled full bath with separate shower and soaking tub end this floor. The amazing basement level includes a stupendous four-car parking garage with workbench, abundant storage and a nice, built-in elevated gym space. The large, wrap-around park-like level landscaped yard with lush lawns, blooming garden, mature plants and trees, great night lighting and a separate side patio with natural gas-plumbed barbecue completes this truly special, one-of-a-kind home!
