Description:

TUDOR REVIVAL STYLE HOME PLUS COTTAGE IN IDYLLIC COW HOLLOW, STEPS FROM THE PRESIDIO The main house has three bedrooms, each with its own bath, plus powder room on the living level. A full basement will hold two cars and has two storage areas. A detached two-level cottage is at the rear of the property. Enter into this 1905 residence rich in history and replete with elegant details. The living level has hardwood floors, coved ceilings and archways, and pocket doors. Off the formal entry is a gracious living room with a gas fireplace and window seats under a wall of north-facing windows. Flanking the fireplace are built-in bookshelves and shelving. The beamed ceiling adds decorative interest. Past a powder room is a well-equipped kitchen with Corian countertops, maple cabinets, and a large larder. Through French doors, the kitchen opens into a multi-use room as a breakfast area or home office. The kitchen also opens into an inviting family room and a more formal dining area. Flooded with light from multiple skylights and large south-facing windows one has full exposure to the lush garden and obelisk-shaped decorative fountain by Welton Rotz. Its gentle sound creates an ethereal touch to this urban oasis. A flat paved area is perfect for entertaining and barbeques. Up a skylit staircase to the second level are three bedrooms all with attached baths. The sunny south-facing bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a skylit en-suite bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, and a view of neighboring gardens that surround the property. There is another large north-facing bedroom also with a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite skylit bathroom with a shower over tub. The third smaller bedroom at the top of the stairs also has a skylit bathroom with a shower over tub. There is access to the undeveloped attic. Nestled at the back of the property, surrounded by greenery, and accessed by a private entry path is a separate, enchanting cottage. This cottage was built in 1911 and retains its history with a 21th century upgrade. The living room has a gas fireplace and original hardwood floors. The renovated kitchen has a Bertazzoni range and hood, Bosch dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a GE refrigerator. There is space for an eat-in table and access to a private backyard, perfect for a quiet cup of morning coffee. Upstairs is a large bedroom with a beamed ceiling, a spacious walk-in closet that leads both to a southern deck that floats above neighbor gardens, and a renovated bathroom with a shower over a small tub. Another deck off the bedroom opens to the garden of the main house. The property is located around the corner from the Cow Hollow Playground, small grocery stores, Cote Ouest restaurant, and the wonders of the Presidio. With walking trails, restaurants, the Tunnel Tops Park, and Crissy Field, it is a perfect playground. The shopping streets of Chestnut and Union are an easy walk and there are multiple bus routes to downtown San Francisco.
