About this home
Located in the desirable Buena Vista Park / Ashbury Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, this refurbished Victorian home has an aesthetic that is timeless yet modern. A clear example of Stick-style Victorian architecture from the late 19th century, the residence is a 'Victorian Sister,' one of six documented Stick-style Victorian homes built in a cohesive row on Masonic Avenue. Thoughtfully constructed circa 1890 by builder John A. Whelan, the classic facade projects symmetry, craftsmanship, and expressive wood detailing that characterizes the Stick style. Old World details are immediately apparent inside, where carved wood casings and recently finished oak hardwood floors combine to offer true vintage charm. Original period hardware adorns the doors, while antique switch-buttons control modern light fixtures. Rainbow color and glowing sunlight filters through timeless stained glass windows found in many rooms. Soothing radiant heat warms the oak hardwood floors throughout.
Sun-filled public rooms are appointed with lofty ceilings and picture windows. Spacious and dappled with natural light from a bay alcove with picture window, the formal living room continues the hardwood floors and moldings. Warmth is provided by a wood-burning fireplace with mahogany surround. Double pocket sliding doors open to the formal dining room which is has wainscot paneling and a built-in sideboard buffet, as well as a wood-burning fireplace finished with wood surround. French doors expand the dimensions out to the rear terrace and gardens.
The stunning gourmet kitchen, which enjoys direct access to the formal dining room at a pass-through, has abundant cabinetry and top-of-the-line new appliances. Custom finishes include gleaming pantry cabinetry and drawers with brass pulls, stone slab counters with tiled backsplashes, and all brass fixtures. All new Thermador appliances include a refrigerator with freezer drawer, dishwasher, and Thermador Gas Pro Harmony 6-burner range crowned by a brass pot-filler and copper-finished ventilation hood. The ultimate venue for any discerning chef.
Providing generous accommodations for family members and guests alike are 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a powder room. Personal quarters include a five-star master bedroom suite with built-in armoire storage and spa bath, plus two versatile upper level bedrooms serviced by a hallway bathroom with deep soaking tub and rainspout shower. A lower-level In-Law/5th Bedroom suite has a concealed Murphy Bed, separate access to the grounds and garage, and built-in office desk, making this space ideal for possible staff quarters. The suite is serviced by a full bath with pedestal sink vanity and glass-enclosed shower.
Outside in the rear yard, stone steps ascend to an elevated outdoor dining terrace surrounded by lovely perimeter foliage and flowers, a surprisingly private venue for al fresco enjoyment. Completing the appeal of this superb residence is its close proximity to upscale cafés and shops on Haight Street and in Cole Valley and its easy access to Buena Vista Park for outdoor hiking and views. Nestled among one of The City’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this historic Victorian has everything needed for the ultimate San Francisco lifestyle....
