Pacific Heights

Ideally perched atop a boutique Victorian building in Pacific Heights, this beautifully updated full-floor flat offers 1,943 +/- square feet of sophisticated turn-key living space, accented with peek-a-boo water views. Blending stunning architectural details with elegant contemporary updates, the home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a lovely primary suite. 
 
Originally built in 1895, the residence offers a formal entry foyer with gas fireplace, period living room, family room, formal dining room, and a designer chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances and butler’s pantry. Preserved architectural elements grace every room, including soaring 10-foot-high ceilings, box beam detailing, refurbished in-lay hardwood floors, and stained-glass windows–complemented by new designer lighting, and curated modern amenities throughout. 
 
Enter the residence through a historic street-facing Victorian façade featuring classic curved bay windows, white ornamental trim, egg-and-dart molding, and intricate cornices that crown each bay window—hallmarks of the era’s architectural style.
 
Ascend a few exterior steps to enter the unit, then continue up an interior staircase adorned with designer-curated carpet, new wall sconces, a stained-glass window overhead, and an elegant vintage banister—to arrive at a grand entry hallway.
 
Here, the gracious entry foyer sets the tone, with stately columns featuring intricate Corinthian-style detailing beneath box beam ceilings. A charming built-in seating nook with a gas-burning fireplace and a stained-glass window overhead creates an inviting focal point, with historic character. Freshly updated lighting and classic wainscoting add a refined touch to this formal space.
 
The formal foyer flows on the right into a living room on one side and a family room adjacent. The two rooms are connected by a pocket door. The living room features a gas-burning fireplace with a tile surround, flanked by beautiful built-ins. A set of three bay windows faces north, offering glimpses of the Bay and Alcatraz Island. Recessed lighting and elegant coved 10-foot ceilings enhance the ambiance, adding to the sophistication of the room. 
 
A pocket door separates the living room from the family room, which features a charming window bay extension at one end. This four-window alcove forms a cozy nook, offering light, dimension, and peek-a-boo water views. A built-in closet adds function to the room.
 
To the right of the entry hall find an elegant formal dining room, framed by an ornamental fireplace with a marble surround on one end and a vintage built-in wooden buffet with a mirrored backsplash on the other. Decorative wainscoting, an ornate box beam ceiling, and a new modern light fixture adds rich detail and a contemporary flair.
 
A charming butler’s pantry walk-through connects the dining room and kitchen, offering original cabinetry and generous counter space with mirrored backsplash for additional serving and storage.
 
Step into the kitchen from the butler’s pantry (or hallway) to find an expansive culinary space with a large skylight overhead, east-facing windows, and stainless-steel appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, brand-new Bosch dishwasher, dual Jenn Air ovens, and Viking 6-burner range with Thermador hood. Modern tile floors and new pendant lighting complete the space.
 
Head down the hall to find a newly updated powder room, featuring modern light fixtures, gold hardware, and a brand-new Toto toilet. Conveniently located off the hallway opposite the kitchen.
 
The first bedroom on the right features a custom-designed system with a built-in bed, desk, overhead shelving, drawers, and cabinetry. New modern lighting enhances the functionality of this well-appointed, ready-to-go custom-designed bedroom.
 
Walk down the hall past a French door on the right that opens to the rear stairwell, providing access to the rooftop with deeded rights to potentially build a private roof deck—a rare offering in Pacific Heights.
 
Further down the hall is the split bath, offering a vintage clawfoot tub with shower above, a marble-topped vanity, and classic hexagon tile flooring.
 
At the end of the hall are two-bedroom retreats. Bedroom two, on the right, includes bright south and west-facing windows, brand new modern window shades, and a closet with sliding doors.
 
To the left, discover the luxurious primary suite (Bedroom three), featuring an en-suite bath with large glass enclosed shower, dual pedestal sinks, new modern lighting, linen closet, and a spectacular, walk-in closet with new carpeting and a large wall mirror.
 
Step outside and you are in fabulous Pacific Heights, one of the City’s most coveted neighborhoods. Renowned for its breathtaking views, stunning architecture, and elegant homes, this prime location also boasts a 95 Walk Score with top-tier boutiques and eateries just steps away in the nearby Union and Fillmore Street shopping corridors.
