This spectacular remodeled French Mediterranean view home built in 1925 is proudly situated on a wonderful tree-lined block in the heart of the neighborhood, close to Forest Hill Muni Station! A gated garden entrance with wide walkway leads to a notable arched doorway and into an impressive foyer with coved ceiling and two entry closets. The grand formal living room with French doors and multi-layered recessed ceiling boasts an imposing wood-burning fireplace with original Batchelder tile surround and mantel, handsome built-in bookshelves, gleaming hardwood floors and gorgeous Palladian picture windows with sweeping views from hills and trees to Sutro Tower and Twin Peaks. The magnificent, banquet-size formal dining room with floor to ceiling window, striking chandelier and French doors that open to the walk-out patio is perfect for entertaining! The fabulous gourmet kitchen with recessed lighting and designer tile floors showcases all stainless steel appliances including a Thermador six-burner gas range with hood, built-in GE microwave, KitchenAid refrigerator and Thermador dishwasher, granite counters with subway tile backsplash and custom wood cabinets with ample storage and a spacious pantry. A convenient powder room with charming vanity sink and stylish wall mirror ends this floor.
The majestic open-banister staircase with huge 20-pane colored glass window ascends to the upper level landing with two linen closets and the home’s private living quarters. The sumptuous master bedroom suite with high ceiling and delightful views to the garden features an enormous walk-in closet with built-in shelving above, splendid plantation shutters and an exquisite tiled full bath with big walk-in shower and classic pedestal sink. Two additional good-size bedrooms − both with stunning views of hills, trees, Sutro Tower and Twin Peaks − and an attractive tiled full bath with large vanity sink, great built-in medicine cabinet and shower over tub end this floor. The lower level enjoys a terrific family room or 4th bedroom en-suite with private entrance, home office space, tiled full bath with big walk-in shower, and a separate laundry closet with stacked washer and dryer. The beautifully terraced landscaped backyard with tradesman’s entrance, two-tiered patio, walking path and colorful plants and trees completes this truly special home!
