Originally built circa 1926, this stunning Spanish-style residence presents a rare off-market opportunity to own a piece of San Francisco history. Positioned on a lush hill in Monterey Heights, this home truly stands out with its prominent elevated position, rose garden, and beautiful Old World grace. Inside, the main level takes the breath away at every turn, where glowing oak hardwood floors are laid in a Versailles parquet pattern and gorgeous picture windows frame views of the San Francisco Bay. Southern sun exposure basks the lavish public rooms, which are appointed with tall ceilings, elaborate moldings and recessed lighting that invite the exhibition of fine art and sculptures. Create a feast in the gourmet kitchen with industrial Wolf range, cater lavish dinner parties in the spacious formal dining room, and let the children convene in the sunny casual dining nook. This traditional home has something for everyone.

Personal accommodations are provided by a guest bedroom with nearby bathroom on the main level, plus two upper-level bedrooms serviced by a tiled hallway bathroom. Rounding out the features of this extraordinary home is a lower-level office sanctuary with custom bookcases for easy remote work. An expansive family room with cinema screen and projector presents the ideal location for family movie nights, plus a cellar with storage. Outside, a lush, spacious rear lawn and garden - perfect for children and pets - is surrounded by an ivy-covered tall privacy wall, inviting year-round indoor/outdoor enjoyment. Tree ferns, climbing roses, d’Anjou pear, apple and lemon trees also surround the garden. Completing the appeal of this iconic San Francisco property is its close proximity to cafés, shops and MUNI lines in West Portal, close proximity to the Glen Park BART, and its easy access to local parks. Welcome home!
