St. Francis Wood Exquisite
Spanish Mediterranean View Home!
This spectacular Spanish Mediterranean Pacific Ocean view home built in 1927 is beautifully situated on a prime tree-lined block in the heart of St. Francis Wood, close to West Portal Village shops, restaurants and public transportation. A lovely garden entrance leads to the double columned vestibule with elegant tiled veranda and into an impressive lobby-like foyer with center hall floor plan, coat closet and romantic wrought-iron open-banister staircase. The magnificent grand formal living room boasts a gas fireplace with marble surround and classic mantel, four floor to ceiling arched picture windows, built-in bookshelves with leaded glass doors, recessed lights and gleaming hardwood floors. The banquet-size formal dining room with arched entry, huge bay window and striking chandelier is perfect for entertaining! The tastefully designed gourmet kitchen with comfortable breakfast room and built-in writing desk showcases all stainless-steel appliances including a Viking Professional gas range with oven and hood, Thermador dishwasher, Samsung refrigerator and GE Profile microwave, granite counters, custom cabinets, big pantry, wet-bar and built-in flat screen television. A wonderful family room with walk-out deck that leads to the garden, a guest bedroom and full remodeled bath end this floor.
The remarkable, light-filled staircase with gorgeous stained-glass windows ascends to the upper level landing, hallway, linen closet and the home's private living quarters. The luxurious master bedroom suite features a wall to wall custom built-in closet and a gigantic bathroom with dual vanity sink, "Jacuzzi" tub and separate walk-in shower. Two additional good-size bedrooms - each with its own private bath and large closet - and one with a gas fireplace and sweeping views to the Pacific Ocean end this floor.
The lower level includes a terrific laundry room with washer, dryer and utility sink, wine room and a two car tandem parking garage. The charming wrap-around landscaped backyard with garden and irrigation system, flagstone patio, potting area and walk-out deck completes this truly special home!
