With iconic Bay and Golden Gate Bridge views, this timeless home is perfectly positioned on a north facing slope of Russian Hill, one of San Francisco’s most historic neighborhoods. The residence was originally built in 1925 then updated in 2009 while retaining its original architectural appeal. Some of the upgrades stone countertops in the kitchen, stone bathroom appointments and a full build-out on the lower level. Classic elements found throughout include deep baseboard moldings and recently-refinished oak floors with inlays. A freely flowing living-and-dining room arrangement radiates from the entry parlor – the ideal venue for both entertaining and more intimate gatherings. At the center of the main level is the remodeled gourmet kitchen with granite counters and top-quality appliances, where a skylight and modern light fixtures illuminate a breakfast bar with seating. Rounding out the main level is an inviting master bedroom suite, one additional bedroom and a hallway powder room. The lower level has been expanded to include a recreation room, a dedicated office space and a full hallway bathroom. Two additional lower-level bedrooms have access to a rear sanctuary garden with hot tub spa – an amazing spot to unwind after a long day. Putting the finishing touch on this exceptional property is its convenience to outdoor activities, shopping and dining, and the Russian Hill Park green space with City views.
