A home with heart in glen park
This unique, fully-detached view home sits on an extraordinarily large, wide parcel. Lovingly-renovated, it exudes warmth, soul and charm!
The main level of the home has 3 BR’s and 2 Baths with an inviting farmhouse-style living room whose windows offer sweeping water views to Downtown and the East Bay hills. Imagine curling up on winter evenings by the rustic wood-burning stove! Wooden beams at the ceiling and cork floors enhance the warm, informal ambience.
The updated kitchen has an artisanal tile backsplash, a gas stove and corner windows that bring in lots of light and offer the same stunning view of downtown and the East Bay hills. Numerous built-in nooks and a storage pantry make this a practical and inviting space for preparation of communal meals. The dining area adjacent to the kitchen and the open nature of the layout in the public rooms invites personal connection and will charm your guests!
Rounding out this level is a full-size washer-dryer.
Across from the home’s front door is a large and beautifully constructed private view deck - big enough for a large gathering, dinner al-fresco or lounging in the sun.
The lower level of this home features versatile well-finished bonus rooms that could work well as a spacious home office or adorable guest quarters.
Behind the home, the amazing garden is a nature-lover’s delight, with terraced paths, intimate seating areas and lush beds of succulent plants and mature plantings including an avocado tree dating back to the 1930’s. The yard is extremely large and offers countless opportunities for the urban gardener who wants an oasis to cultivate and savor. The wall at the back of the home is said to be composed of cobblestones salvaged from the Market Street railway tracks in the 1930’s, and were transported to this site by the original builder in her Model T Ford. The views from the upper terrace looking to the East Bay are incomparable.
There are three separate garages for ample parking and storage! There is also plenty of additional parking on the street. Nearby Billy Goat Hill and several other parks and open spaces beckon the urban adventurer with extensive hiking trails and scenic walks. Near the intersection of Noe Valley, Glen Park and Diamond Heights, this site overlooks the city yet is surrounded by nature. Its naturally-peaceful setting is a unique and rarely-available opportunity.
Carefully constructed by the original builder and lovingly stewarded by three subsequent generations of the same family, this iconic country-style retreat will be a prize for its lucky future owners.
