Featured in both Home and Gentry magazines
for its quality in remodeling and design, this grand Pacific Heights Victorian
with an Italian flair stands on a coveted block just west of Lafayette
Park. With over 4000 square feet of living space, this five bedroom four
and a half bathroom home was painstakingly renovated for three years with
the help of architect Steve Farneth to return it to its original Victorian
grandeur while adding state of the art amenities and exquisite imported
details for a modern lifestyle.
First Floor: The house was built in 1894. Guests enter the home through
double doors into a commanding foyer. Off of this hallway is the beautifully
restored Double Parlor with pocket doors leading to a large wood paneled
Formal Dining Room. Both rooms feature original chandeliers and sconces,
restored original fireplaces and beautiful original architectural molding,
wainscoting and hardwood flooring. The rear half of the home was completely
renovated to accommodate the informal living space while continuing to
exhibit the craftsmanship and detail found in the original home. The kitchen
features maple Bosch cabinetry, a six burner and gas grill Wolff range
with imported Italian Renaissance-style backsplash, two Thermador ovens,
Miele dishwasher and deep marble countertops, ideal for a family or gourmet
cook.
The adjoining large Family Room overlooks the landscaped backyard. The
living area is complete with a built-in office area, walk-in laundry closet
with sink and laundry chute, a powder room, a breakfast nook, a dry bar,
a large China display cabinet, central vacuum cleaning system and stereo
system with built-in speakers throughout the entire home. Off the rear
of the house is a redwood deck with barbeque that leads down to the majestic
backyard. The breathtaking marble and tile patio, created by Scott Smith
of Terra Design, was designed on the Campidoglio Square in Rome and is
completed with an imported terracotta fountain & plaque and flagstone
benches.
Second Floor: Upstairs four large bedrooms with ten foot ceilings continue
to exhibit the home’s Victorian craftsmanship. The master suite
includes views of Twin Peaks, an oak fireplace, ample closet space and
master bath with claw foot bathtub, double showers, bidet, double vanities
and is finished with designer Fendi tiles. Three additional bedrooms and
2 full bathrooms sit directly off of a commanding upstairs hallway with
skylights and vintage lighting fixtures from the 1940’s.
Lower Level: A large bedroom, perfect for an au pair or older child, with
bathroom has two private entrances from the street and access to the garden.
The finished basement has built-in shelving, two very large separate storage
rooms and entrance to the two car tandem garage. Also accessed from the
basement is the dual zone heating system, double water heaters and the
central vacuum cleaning system.
