Come home to the vintage charm of this lovely Spanish Mediterranean fully detached residence, boasting an exceptionally large and beautifully landscaped back yard, situated on a quiet block in Old Miraloma. Enhanced with tasteful updates and designed for contemporary city living, it is located in a peaceful and serene setting below the summit of Mt. Davidson.
The light and bright entry, at the top of the winding front stairway, leads to a barrel-ceiling living room with period moldings and details, a central working fireplace and large sunny bay windows that provide immediate views of Twin Peaks, with the Marin Headlands and Mt Tam in the distance. An adjoining formal dining room opens to the exquisitely renovated chef’s eat-in kitchen, with high-end appliances including a Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher, and built-in Liebherr refrigerator. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with Heath Ceramics tile backsplash, Cesarstone quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and solid oak hardwood floors. The kitchen’s glass paned French door allows for direct access onto a wide and expansive redwood rear deck and to the tranquil, mature, and impeccably tended south-facing rear yard.
This large back yard is a must-see gardener’s delight. While perfect for outdoor entertaining, it is also a private sanctuary for peace and serenity, simply listening to songbirds or star-gazing. The large bay windows in the rear primary bedroom provide a pleasing and sweeping view of the garden. A skylighted central hallway and remodeled full bath separate the primary bedroom and the secondary bedroom.
The bath renovation, done in soft accent tones, includes a heated floor, tile shower and soaking tub.
An interior stairway leads from the home’s central hallway to the spacious one-car garage and laundry area at ground-level. A draft of architectural plans detail possible expansion for an additional bedroom and bath on this level.
The home has solid hardwood floors throughout and has been consistently updated and maintained. Further improvements include major seismic upgrades, a French drain, tankless water heater, garage door with security lock, copper gutters, Anderson windows, plantation shutters, custom mahogany front door with original hardware, recessed overhead lighting, a mature street tree, extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades and fresh interior and exterior paint.
Centrally located in the city, this home is convenient to BART or freeways 280 & 101 for quick access to downtown, SFO or Silicon Valley and is close to Miraloma Elementary & Playground, Mollie Stone's market, Mt. Davidson and Glen Canyon hiking trails. Noe Valley, West Portal and Glen Park are just minutes away for more shopping and dining.
