This extraordinarily-appointed Cole Valley home recently underwent a massive renovation with a conscience! Great effort was taken to reclaim, reuse and build with sustainable materials, while creating a warm, inviting home that pays homage to its original turn of the century detailing, resulting in perhaps the most Green historic home in San Francisco.

A traditional and welcoming foyer with an antique chandelier and wainscot greets guests into the home.

The formal living room displays traditional detail with the original fireplace mantel and coved ceilings but also enjoys modern comfort with its oversized cozy window seat and built-in speakers connected to the centralized music system.

Pocket doors separate the living room from the formal dining room with wood burning fireplace, built-in speakers, board and batten wainscoting and French doors which lead out to one of the home's three decks.

The gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with a state-of-the-art dimmable LED lighting, traditionally-styled custom cabinetry, a Bertazzoni convection range, separate Jenn-Air warming drawer, and Energy Star rated Jenn-Air refrigerator and Electrolux dishwasher. A Whitehaus farm sink with restaurant-style faucet completes the chef-designed kitchen, complemented by a built-in banquette for casual eating surrounded by a fun and useful chalkboard-painted wall. The adjacent family room is pre-wired for a wall-mounted HDTV with a built-in 5 channel home theater speaker system and features custom built-in cabinets and French doors leading out to the deck.

Upstairs off the center foyer are three bedrooms, including a large master suite plus a large full bathroom (with the restored original standalone claw foot tub from 1902), and a laundry closet with cabinetry, a built-in ironing center and front loading Energy Star washer/dryer.

The private master suite opens with a turn of an original restored doorknob from the home and offers expansive views of Tank Hill, the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Park and the Marin Headlands. Off the master hallway with its restored original floors are the large walk-in closet and the beautifully appointed bathroom with soaking tub, granite topped double vanity, an oversized walk-in shower with subway tile, a private water closet with skylight and its own views to the ocean. The master bedroom is pre-wired for a wall-mounted HDTV, has built-in speakers, and features remote-controlled directional lighting for art display. Off the master is the private walk-out deck with views of the Sunset, Golden Gate Park and north towards and past St. Ignatius.

Downstairs is an additional garden bedroom with double French doors opening to a walk-out deck plus a 5th bedroom/office and a full bathroom with large walk-in shower with subway tile. Motion-sensor switches throughout the house assure energy efficiency and mean you never have to worry about leaving the lights on.

This level also includes a large finished and lockable storage room, a 500-bottle wine cellar (expandable to 1000+ bottles) and internal access to the 2 car tandem garage which also includes substantial storage space and which is pre-wired for a future electric car charger.

The mature landscaped and fully drip-irrigated garden includes a lovely brick patio using brick reclaimed on-site during construction and is accessed from both the ground-level deck and by stairs from the second-level dining and family room deck.
