Features

The captivating curb appeal of this special home characterizes the treasures waiting within. Curated by noted San Francisco Interior Designer John K. Anderson, JKA Design, this exceptional home showcases a passion for creative, impactful design featuring outstanding finishes. Reinvented and rebuilt in 2015 by published Architect Michael Connell, this extraordinary remodel allowed for additional square footage and an expanded, flowing floor plan. True to the home’s Victorian-era heritage, the front façade was preserved and recrafted. Complete with its panoramic view roof deck, this multi-level home affords a contemporary, comfortable lifestyle. The main floor features the desirable open living, dining, kitchen concept boasting soaring ceilings, a customized gas fireplace, recessed lighting and access to an outdoor deck area. The finishes are well-articulated and are carried seamlessly throughout. A focal point is the custom fireplace mantle in walnut and Belgian Blue limestone with brass detail. The gourmet kitchen is a study in rich textures, from the Calacatta Oro marble countertops and shagreen upholstered peninsula graced with mouth-blown glass pendant lights, Sitio black & white tile backsplash, custom cabinetry with antique brass-finished metal mesh door panels, to the Viking range’s custom brass range hood with a hand-rubbed bronze finish. This level also presents a separate media room displaying a Pirce LED ceiling light in spiral pattern with black aluminum finish and the exquisite powder room highlighting Damien Hirst Butterfly Kaleidoscope wallpaper. The exemplary custom chevron flooring of fumed European white oak is a stunning addition to the main level. This striking home is adorned with custom window coverings in luxurious fabric choices, a sumptuous color palette, Waterworks fixtures and Sonos sound system throughout.

From the main level media room, a staircase leads to the private en suite primary bedroom. Complete with two patios, one north and one south-facing, this is a captivating hideaway. The full bath showcases vintage Italian torchiere sconces and brass flush-mount ceiling fixture, geometric mirror with polished brass brackets plus a custom Calacatta Oro marble top on the mahogany vanity. The marble finishes are carried through on the flooring in a custom pattern, wainscoting with brass trim and the shower walls. Marquina marble mosaic shower floor and a stand-alone Halo Blu-stone tub add to a sublime feel. The spacious walk-in closet & dressing room features custom cabinetry and shelving.
Above this level is the electric skylight-hatch entrance to the fabulous roof deck with its panoramic views. With Pacific Heights as the backdrop, the deck overlooks the Marina district and highlights the breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge and Palace of Fine Arts. A gas fire pit makes for an enjoyable ambiance.

Downstairs, which also has a convenient separate front entry, the attractive lower level features 2-bedrooms, one with access to the rear outdoor space, a shared full bath, and the closeted side-by-side LG washer & dryer. The showpiece bath highlights a smoke gray resin drip mirror, blown-glass wall sconces, stunning floral motif linen textured wallpaper, Calacatta Oro marble top custom vanity and Fireclay tile on the floor and shower walls. Additionally, here one finds the internal access from the 1-2 car garage (dependent upon make & model), complete with an EV charger.
