Lower Pacific Heights Queen Anne Townhouse – New Listing

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Passionately renovated and remodeled is the best way to describe this extraordinary townhouse. A two-floor residence occupying the top two floors of a two-unit building in Lower Pacific Heights within walking distance of shopping on California Street, Fillmore Street, Sacramento Street and Divisadero Street – a true ‘hub’ location for the City.

The front door of solid wood and etched glass makes a great greeting heading up to the landing from which columns flank the entry of the double parlor which has yet a third room or alcove. The main room is focused around a wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle and the room is extended with a curved Bay consisting of bent glass double paned windows. Picture molding, high ceilings and new inlaid hardwood floors are just some of the additional details that set off these main rooms.

This floor has two bedrooms and a split bath which features reproduction luxury fixtures such as a French slipper bath-tub and pull chain toilet. There is a formal dining room with stain glass, built-in cabinetry, fireplace (decorative), plate rails and other period moldings.

The French style kitchen with island is a favorite. The kitchen shows off with a copper hood, custom cabinetry, detailed marble work surface along with freezer drawers and other desirable and well thought out amenities. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious breakfast room with large windows which seem to make both rooms light and bright. And let’s not forget the stained glass skylight in the kitchen which is not only beautiful but practical as well.

The upper floor is the coup-de-grace with a spacious master suite with cupola. The large bedroom opens into a dressing room and bath making it a private apartment in its own right offering luxury and privacy. This suite has a French slipper tub, vanity table, marble shower and a complete extra half bath.

There is a shared landscaped garden and one car garage parking with storage closet in addition. This unit also has a dedicated 100 gallon hot-water heater too.
