Located on the western slope
of Bernal Heights, recently highlighted in Gourmet Magazine for its edgy
flair and emerging neighborhood restaurant scene, this sophisticated
urban dwelling is just blocks from restaurants and shops on a quiet one
way street. Custom crafted in 2000 by local builder Rick LeCount, the
house is spread over four levels to maximize its dramatic city views.
The infrastructure of the house includes CAT5 wiring, pre-wiring for
cable and satellite tv, and forced air heat with built-in humidifier.
The entry level encompasses the formal entrance way, access to the 2
car side-by-side garage with built-in shelving and extra refrigerator,
storage space and one large bedroom/office with private deck.
One flight down is the main level with open Living and Dining Rooms,
Gourmet Kitchen, a half bathroom and a storage room with freezer. The
Living Room includes a wood burning fireplace. This floor has maple hardwood
floors throughout, as well as dimmed recessed lighting. The eat-in kitchen
features Amana refrigerator, Thermador oven, gas range and vent, Bosch
dishwasher and a large pantry. Custom moldings, window trims and banisters
exemplify the extreme attention to detail in the house.
On the lower level, two private bedrooms each open out to a patio and
garden through French doors. The landscaped garden includes an irrigation
system. This level also includes a bathroom, wine storage beneath the
staircase and a large utility room with washer and dryer.
The master suite with its dramatic 14-foot cathedral ceiling consumes
the entire top floor of the home. The room is cozy with a customized
fireplace and mantle, yet open to the city views with French doors and
a private deck. The master bathroom is attached and fitted with cement & glass
shower and oversized Jacuzzi tub both taking in the city views with 7-foot
windows. The master suite is completed with a large walk-in closet with
custom shelving.
