Set
back from the street on an exclusive block of Ashbury Heights,
this fabulous and newly renovated Victorian home offers great views,
modern living and a bright open floor plan.
Main level:
A charming landing welcomes guests into the expansive main floor. The custom
designed gourmet kitchen is a chef‚s dream, with granite countertops,
cherry cabinets, and brand new, high-end appliances (including a Viking 6 burner
range and hood and Thermador double oven and refrigerator).
Connected to the kitchen and overlooking the lush garden is an open and well-lit
breakfast room with matching cherry cabinets.
The spacious living room, with adjoined dining room, boasts a wood burning
fireplace and a fully retractable projection screen for home theatre use.
The third bedroom/office is attached to the living room.
Through the sizeable French doors off the rear of the house is a large custom-built
Trex deck, perfect for entertaining with outdoor speakers and lighting. The
level landscaped garden with fountain and koi pond enjoys wonderful afternoon
sun.
Upper Level:
Upstairs are two bedroom suites and a laundry room with Fisher & Paykel
washer and dryer. The east-facing bedroom includes en-suite bathroom and has
lovely overlooks of Buena Vista Park.
The Master Suite has a generous walk-in closet and a large deck with northwestern
views of St. Ignatius Church, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin Headlands.
The spacious master bathroom includes double sinks, a glass rainfall shower
with all-directional body jets, a roomy tub with jets, and detailed mosaic
flooring.
Lower Level:
From a separate entrance is the lower one bedroom apartment, which includes
a bedroom with a large closet, a full bathroom, living room, and breakfast
room. This comfortable apartment has lots of windows and is carpeted throughout.
Design Details:
Great attention to detail is displayed throughout this unique home, from the
restoration of the crown molding to the doors, hardware, and new hardwood floors.
The original Victorian stain glass number sign remains above the front door.
The house has all new Anderson windows and glass doors, brand new heating,
plumbing, and electrical systems, and a seismically upgraded foundation. There
is Tech lighting throughout with beautiful Murano glass fixtures and advanced
lighting scene control with the GrafikEye system. The garden is mature and
has been consistently maintained and fertilized. The speaker system is wired
throughout the first and second floors of the house, with controls in each
room. Media jacks in the office and master suite are stereo ready, just plug
in a TV, DVD, or iPod to get high quality sound through the built-in speakers.
The house is wired Cat5 throughout, terminating in an Open House structured
wiring cabinet in the garage.
