The inspired renovation of this architect-owned home embraces the spirit and functional requirements of the 21st century.

A modest arts and crafts house built in 1925, this residence was substantially rebuilt and expanded in 2004 to create a home that features period charm, natural light and modern finishes that will withstand the test of time. At the heart of the home, a great room accommodates the kitchen and dining space enhanced by an adjoining outdoor living space and garden. Designed both for comfort and entertaining, this main living area features tall ceilings and clerestory windows that capture natural sunlight from four sides. This space is integrated with a more traditional living room appointed with custom built-ins and decorative fireplace by a gracious central hallway. A carefully designed master suite and second bedroom are also well positioned on the main floor. An additional third bedroom works perfectly as an office or as a guest bedroom as needed.  

The details throughout this renovated period home are respectful of the era, yet clean and modern in sensibility. The kitchen includes stainless steel countertops, custom cherry wood accents, and a flamed granite-clad island. Finishes at both bathrooms and at the kitchen backsplash feature classic selections of Heath tile. Details also include designer fixtures, architectural lighting, custom Pear wood bathroom cabinetry and recycled Douglas Fir flooring that is compatible with the patina of the original, preserved flooring. The professionally landscaped garden spaces include mature plantings, a brick paved patio and dining deck with water views.  

The ground floor level includes a one car garage that can easily be modified to accommodate a second small car, along with excellent storage, a work space and generous laundry area.

This convenient Eureka Valley location offers easy walking to the abundance of services in the Castro and to the popular 24th Street corridor in Noe Valley.

Eureka Valley

Eureka Valley, which includes the world-renowned Castro district, have a wonderfully rich history as the epicenter of the gay rights movement. Today, the neighborhood is undergoing another transition as the long-standing gay community welcomes young families to the increasingly diverse neighborhood. On the eastern end, coveted Liberty Hill offers tremendous views and one-of-a-kind residences. Located centrally with downtown access via Muni streetcar and freeway access just off of Market Street, the hard-to-resist neighborhood is also graced with a wide variety of architectural styles and property types -- including many pre-Quake Victorians. Bustling Castro Street is home to some of the city's most beloved landmarks, including Harvey Milk's store front and the historic Castro Theatre, as well as great restaurants and bars, clubs and pubs serving all your nightlife needs. A celebratory attitude often reigns, as each year the streets come alive during the Castro Street Fair and Pride Week. Venture up the hills and you'll find quieter streets lined with charming, well-kept homes. Locals love to take advantage of many hidden mini-parks like Kite Hill, and the Seward Street slides.
