The Colgate Mansion at Alamo Square: The Kind of Big That Feels Like Home.
Some homes are large. This one is expansive in a way that enhances how you live and how you move through it. Originally designed in 1903 by noted architect Frank Van Trees for Joseph Colgate-McQueen, a member of the family behind one of America's most storied household names, the Colgate Mansion offers 5,519 square feet across four beautifully connected levels, plus a restored carriage house, where historic grandeur and modern livability meet effortlessly.
The floor plan is genuinely rare: four distinct levels, each with its own character, unified by a dramatic four-story staircase crowned by a skylight that draws natural light through the heart of the home. Cleverly placed windows and a glass-paneled floor flood the home with light, while French doors and a folding glass wall open to decks on every level, each framing panoramic city and park views. Radiant floor heating and three gas fireplaces complete the warmth and ease.
The main level balances classical scale with effortless livability. Formal living and dining rooms flow naturally into a spacious kitchen anchored by a generous island, opening to a family room and heated walk-out deck overlooking the garden and carriage house. Five bedrooms and a dedicated home office span the third and fourth levels. The top floor is devoted to the primary suite: a walk-out deck with sweeping downtown views, a spa-like bath, ample closets, and an additional room for a nursery, sitting room, or office. The third level offers three bedrooms, a home office, two full bathrooms, and a sizeable deck. On the lower level you'll find a bedroom suite with independent access from Grove Street, perfect for guests or extended family, and a media room with built-in home theater, and direct yard access.
The two-room carriage house, also accessed independently from Grove Street, adds a self-contained retreat for a studio, office, or guest quarters, a rare bonus that few properties at any price can offer. The home's Edwardian facade and contemporary refinement exist in harmony: glass-floored bridge, a kitchen outfitted with SubZero and Wolf appliances, a garage-to-kitchen dumbwaiter, EV chargers, and interior sprinklers. Rebuilt from the structural level up in the mid-2000s, the home retains its historic presence with the confidence of modern infrastructure. A deep 2-car garage and landscaped grounds complete the offering.
This address puts you steps from Alamo Square Park's Painted Ladies, the Park's playground, tennis courts, Lady Falcon Coffee Cart, and a short walk from Hayes Valley and the Divisadero Corridor where the city's best dining and boutique shopping converge. Few locations in San Francisco offer this combination of neighborhood beauty, walkability, and urban energy.

Alamo Square: One of San Francisco's Most Celebrated Neighborhoods
Alamo Square is more than the home of the world-famous Painted Ladies. It is one of San Francisco's most vibrant, storied, and genuinely livable neighborhoods. The iconic Victorian row along Steiner Street, famously known as Postcard Row and recognized the world over as the backdrop of Full House, draws visitors from every corner of the globe. Yet for those who live here, the neighborhood's real draw is far more personal. Alamo Square Park, transformed by a $5.3 million renovation in 2017, is the beating heart of the community, offering panoramic city views, a dog run, tennis courts, a beloved playground, Lady Falcon Coffee, and beautifully landscaped walking paths. Historic landmarks including the William Westerfeld House, the Chateau Tivoli, and the Archbishop's Mansion line the surrounding streets, each a testament to the preservation movement of the 1970s that saved this neighborhood's architectural soul.
Just beyond Alamo Square, two of the city's most dynamic corridors await. Hayes Valley, once an overlooked stretch beneath a freeway overpass, has emerged as one of San Francisco's most celebrated destinations, a walkable village of acclaimed restaurants, independent boutiques, wine bars, and design studios that draw locals from every corner of the city. The Divisadero Corridor extends that energy northward, home to an exceptional concentration of beloved neighborhood institutions. Bi-Rite Market, a true San Francisco institution, sits alongside celebrated restaurants, cafes, and some of the city's most cherished independent shops.
Practical connectivity matches the neighborhood's lifestyle appeal. Several Muni lines service the area, placing downtown, the Presidio, the Financial District, and beyond within a 30-minute ride. The Central Freeway 101, just one mile away, makes Silicon Valley commutes entirely manageable. This is a neighborhood that rewards those who truly know San Francisco.
