This house is a sleek and contemporary, newly created vast open-living-concept floor plan.  Featuring a dramatic nano wall that opens from the glamorous kitchen to the deck to a flat yard, capturing warm west-facing sunshine.  Original wood staircase banisters lead to graciously sized rooms, with a huge remodeled bathroom servicing 2 bedrooms.

The master bedroom suite is an oasis:  grand and private, with wall-to-wall windows flooding the room with light, highlighted by a stunning spa-like bathroom retreat with dual vanities, a wall of frosted glass.

The entire home has gone through a metomorphis, both seen and unseen.  Major structural and seismic upgrades have been performed, the garage is a car enthusiast's dream with space for 3 vehicles, and there is an additional heated room perfect as an office or gym/yoga or playroom or au pair room.  Inside the house, radiant heat is installed throughout the entire main and upper floors over immaculate new oak? flooring, and there are large new windows to complement the clean-lined concept.

Wonderfully located near public transport and company shuttles, chic bistros in Cole Valley, Whole Foods, Golden Gate Park, colorful Haight Ashbury shopping.  Cosmopolitan and chic, yet warm and inviting....
