About this home
A pale blue landmark on Revere Avenue, 1556 Revere is more than a home - it's a living story, layered with devotion, artistry, and the kind of memories that settle into the walls and stay. Built in 1865 and lovingly revived over four decades by a couple who poured their hearts, hands, and imaginations into every inch, the Sylvester House stands today as one of San Francisco's most treasured historic residences. Its restoration was so exceptional that it earned the 2005 Robert Friese Award from San Francisco Beautiful, recognizing the home as an award‑winning example of neighborhood preservation.
Step inside and you feel it immediately: the warmth of gatherings around one of the six marble fireplaces; the quiet pride in the Bradbury & Bradbury custom wallpapers and hand-stenciled details; the echo of music from concerts once held in the parlor; the scent of countless meals cooked on the working 1870s Crawford cast‑iron stove. Each room carries a chapter- painting parties with friends, late night conversations with artists and scholars, holiday tables dressed with Victorian flair, and the laughter of neighborhood children who came by the hundreds every Halloween.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an attached inlaw, the home offers both grandeur and flexibility. A sprawling attic- untouched and full of possibility- waits for its next steward to imagine something new. Modern systems, seismic upgrades, and careful restoration ensure that its historic beauty lives comfortably in the present.
The neighborhood mirrors the home's spirit: filled with authenticity, incredible food, numerous parks, easy freeway access, and art galleries and studios that make the Bayview one of San Francisco's most creative and culturally rich enclaves. 1556 Revere is ready for its next chapter- someone who will appreciate its history, honor its soul, and continue the legacy of a home that has always been an open canvas for life's most meaningful moments....
