Situated on an expansive double lot of over 5,000 square feet, this midcentury gem is completely surrounded by nature, offering a serene retreat in the heart of the city.
Wide, sweeping, and ever-changing vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Tamalpais, the North Bay, Angel Island, Alcatraz, the Bay Bridge, and the downtown skyline provide an inspiring backdrop to daily life.
The main level opens from a gated, private garden patio into a dramatic great room, where massive picture windows span the entire width of the residence.

Upstairs, the bedroom level continues to showcase the home's spectacular views. This floor features a luxurious primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a bright sunroom that opens to a private balcony.
The lower-level family room acts as a second entertaining hub, opening to its own dedicated deck with panoramic views. This floor also hosts a private fourth bedroom with an en-suite bath, alongside a dedicated laundry room.
A spacious two-car garage rounds out this level, fully equipped with an EV charging station.

Clarendon Heights
This is a centrally located, residential San Francisco neighborhood of primarily detached single family homes on the east slope of Twin Peaks, facing the city and surrounded by acres of natural open spaces, hiking and biking trails, with undoubtedly the best panoramic views of the city and bay.
This community is also home to a wide spectrum of architectural styles, including a mixture of Tudors and Villas as well as Mid-Century Modern Residences, Sleek Contemporary Homes and Quaint Bungalows & Cottages. Rightfully motivated by the panoramic views, the homes were built into the hillside, complete with stone stairways and terraced flat streets to help residents navigate the neighborhood on foot.
While it resembles a completely upscale suburban environment, the compact community is also home to connecting arteries along Clarendon Avenue and Twin Peaks Boulevard, a portion of the SF 49-Mile Scenic Drive, providing links to amenities found in neighboring shopping districts like Cole Valley, Noe Valley, the Inner Sunset and West Portal.
Tank Hill, in the northeastern corner of the neighborhood, is a hidden park and local favorite as well as a city destination, with a rustic pathway leading down to Cole Valley.
Sutro Tower hovers over the city from here and its beacon can be seen from all over the bay area.
Clarendon Elementary School is one of the most sought after public schools in the city. Clarendon Heights offers a serene respite in an ideal location with a calm undertone that lures residents looking for a peaceful life within the city.
Twin Peaks
It's all downhill from Twin Peaks. Literally. These are two prominent hills with an elevation of about 925 feet, only nearby Mt. Davidson is higher at 928 feet. The 31 acre protected Natural Area is mostly undeveloped, and is a preserve for native fauna including Red Tail Hawks and the Mission Blue Butterfly as well as indigenous plant life. The Twin Peaks Park public outlook offers the ultimate views of the city within the bay accessible from the north Burnett Gate only via a broad and paved walking path, soon to enjoy further improvements. But, the panoramic outlook is available via a two lane road from the south Portola Gate. On a foggy night, watching the lights of the city far below, and listening to the toll of the fog horns, it’s easy to believe you are standing on the prow of a ship in the middle of the ocean.
Instead, you are close to the geographic center of San Francisco. Stroll down one hill and you are in Cole Valley, with access to Golden Gate Park, a tidy retail district of shops and restaurants, the N-Judah and an easy commute downtown or to Ocean Beach. In the other direction, straight down 17th Street, the Castro lies stretched out at the foot of the hill, serviced by Muni Metro and an easy commute on Market Street to downtown. Hugging the slopes of Twin Peaks, the quiet, curving streets lead to distinctive homes offering varied unobstructed views of the city and bay below.
Enjoy nature on the nearby hiking trails around Mt.Sutro within Sutro Forest, a 61 acre open space reserve which is situated between Clarendon Avenue and the expanding UCSF campus and medical center off Parnassus Street.
