The Home:

This magnificent single family residence is located in San Francisco’s much sought after Telegraph Hill in the shadow of Coit Tower. The sweeping views from Coit Tower to the downtown cityscapes to the Golden Gate Bridge create a dramatic panorama in the upper floors and the lower floors open to the spectacular historic gardens. The home has been fully rebuilt by Nova Design + Builds and features exquisite finishes and discriminating detail. It incorporates all the amenities for the contemporary life style and presents a perfect setting for family life and entertaining friends.

Originally a two unit building, the new floor plan is designed to allow the owners to use the residence as a single family home comprising a fully equipped guest apartment with its independent entrance. The home is situated on an extra wide lot and offers approximately 5440 square feet of interior living space as per the architect.

The Roof Terrace:

With direct access from the main living areas the large roof terrace has breath taking views of Coit Tower, Downtown, Nob Hill, Russian Hill and the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the warm sunny days and evening entertaining.

The Living Room:

The dramatic living room with its’ see through fireplace and a wall of picture windows brings in the dramatic views of the City and the Golden Gate Bridge.  Partially open to the lower floor kitchen and wall of windows to the garden, it is a dramatic space for entertainment or getting away from the day’s challenges.  A half bath of beautiful stone is near the stairway.  The elevator services this level and the other floors from the garage.

Great Room, Formal Dining Room, Wine Cellar and Kitchen:

An absolutely exquisitely designed kitchen has 17’ high ceilings and windows looking out to the garden and two Eucalyptus trees that are formed like a work of art. The adjacent Great Room, separate dining room and library are at the heart of this floor. The natural finish wood cabinetry complements the stainless steel of the appliances and the black granite counter top. The workmanship and the finishing hardware are superb. The focal point however, is the artfully dramatic center island. Designed on two levels, it features a breakfast bar made from a gorgeous 60 year old slab of walnut. The working counter top is honed granite, surrounding the 48” professional Themador cooktop. Gaggenau double ovens, 64” Electrolux refrigerator/freezer, Sharp microwave drawer and two dishwashers are among the top-of-the-line appliances completing this chef’s dream of a kitchen.

The Great Room is spacious and light and features a fireplace artfully adorned with a textured grey stone echoing the nearby kitchen’s granite. The vicinity to the kitchen makes this a wonderfully comfortable room for the family and for friends to gather around while the meal is being prepared.

Adjacent to the Great Room is a sitting room that could be a media area or library and a lovely powder room. An additional room could be used as a home office with views of the City.

The formal dining room features a dramatic 600 bottle wine cellar with a Wisperkool cooler and an entire glass wall allowing the dinner guests a view of the lovely wine racks and their precious contents.

The elevator or the elegant open staircase leads to this third floor.

Second Level:

The master bedroom suite occupies the entire rear portion of this floor and overlooks the lush garden. The luxurious master bath features a large stall shower, freestanding Duravit tub, Hansgrohe faucets, Terrazzo countertop and a door opening to a private terrace overlooking the lush garden.   This floor also comprises two more bedrooms with en-suite baths.  A deck off one of the bedrooms brings in beautiful southern light and a space to enjoy the city views.  A large laundry room and walk in linen room completes this floor.

Street Level:

The front entrance to the residence is accessed through a covered entry or from a two car tandem garage that leads to the elevator and the main stair case.  The stairway is a unique architectural feature of the home.  It is an open design constructed of 2” oak treads and artisan steel.   A second smaller entry door leads to the guest suite and to the lower level media room.  The guest suite comprises a large walk-in closet, a full bath and a lovely garden view bedroom with its own access to a rear terrace.  This level also features three-car parking, one of which is a one car garage and the other is a two car tandem garage plus ample storage.

Lower Level:

The lower level is accessed via its own stair case and can be used as a completely independent apartment or, alternately the main residence can enjoy this floor for housing guests and use the large Great Room for the family’s pleasure.  There is a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom and full bath.  The entire lower floor is open to the lush garden and has its own Indiana limestone patio.  The garden was originally landscaped by Douglas Bayliss and many of the plants and trees are from the original design.  A special feature to this very large garden is a brick wall that was originally part of the foundation of the original site of Sts. Peter and Paul Church.  There are several sites in the garden to display sculptures and have private sitting areas.   At the rear of the garden are steps that lead to area of the lot that is 12’ x 37.5’ that could be used as a separate garden with great sun exposure.
