Property Description

This commanding fully-detached corner home on one of the very best sites in Pacific Heights is ideally positioned on an extra-large lot, maximizing distance to neighboring houses and creating an enhanced sense of spaciousness. It is bathed in light all day, with gorgeous views of the water and City from all four levels. The home includes a large and level sunny yard and an enormous garage. This exclusive estate has only come to market twice in its 114 year history and has had only three owners. A substantial and tasteful multi-million dollar renovation and remodel was completed in 2009, combining the best of seismic and cosmetic upgrades with the existing architectural details.

The property is rich with both Pacific Heights and American history. Originally built by renowned architect Albert Farr for the cousin of then-President Teddy Roosevelt and her husband, a capitalist scion of the original San Francisco Water Company, the house blends detailing worthy of its lofty heritage with completely modern amenities. The home has high ceilings throughout and its design is open and airy. It is comprised of seven bedrooms, six full and two-half bathrooms, and includes, among other amenities, an enormous family entertainment room accessing the sunny level yard, a library/study, an office, an expansive view pent-room family room with stairs to an even more amazing view roof deck, an au pair suite, a fully modernized elevator to all four levels, and a recently-added multi-car garage.
