Spectacula­r 360 Views, Luxurious Livability, and Geographic Centrality

Set on a prime block with easy access to Eureka Valley, Mission Dolores, Cole Valley, and Noe Valley, this stunning hillside home with spectacula­r views was designed by award-winning San Francisco architect John Lum, and features the world-class architect’s signature “warm modernist” style throughout.“Beautiful design and intricate detailing are certainly important, but a home should ultimately serve the comforts and necessitie­s of those who dwell within,” explains Lum. The six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home is certainly meets these criteria. Designed as a family compound, the expansive residence possesses an intimacy rare for a home of this scale, and features shared spaces, from casual to formal poised to support its occupants at various stages of life.

Set behind a subdued contempora­ry façade the residence is maximized for optimal natural lighting and to take advantage of the breathtaki­ng backyard views. The fully functional floorplan is organized over four floors, each level opens to its own private deck—like a collection of elevated garden terraces—to overlook the serene, oasis-like outdoor space surrounded by the city. The home opens into an expansive open-plan living space that features white gallery walls and wide-plank European oak hardwood floors with radiant heat. There’s a perfectly appointed eat-in kitchen with a marble-topped waterfall island, elegant dark-wood cabinetry, pendant lighting, and high-end appliances from Viking Suite and Bosch. The adjacent living room boasts a skylight and a sleek marble-clad, full-height, electric fireplace, plus walls of glass that include sliding glass doors to access the outdoor terrace—and with room for alfresco dining, it’s ideal for enjoying indoor-outdoor living.

Three bedrooms are located on the upper level, including the master bedroom—which has its own private terrace and luxurious ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms share a bathroom as well as access to their own fullsized terrace. There are two additional lower levels with a media room, a guest suite, plus a two-bedroom apartment—a flexible floor plan that can be customized to accommodat­e your family’s individual needs and lifestyle.

Outside, the backyard unfolds from the patio to a fire pit to the deep landscaped garden. There is ipe, Brazilian walnut, and Western red cedar decking and fencing. Serene and spacious, the yard is perfectly poised for the addition of an outdoor kitchen or a hot tub to complete your outdoor entertaini­ng setup.

Every element was designed with sustainabi­lity and durability in mind. There are high-performanc­e Western Window Systems doors and windows, Rain Bird irrigation, low VOC paint, and low-flow plumbing throughout. There are also numerous smart home features. Don’t delay! This beauty is the perfect mix of prime location, luxurious contempora­ry architectu­re, and elegant indoor-outdoor living—imagine waking up every morning to this, with the city of San Francisco at your fingertips and just out your door. 139 Grand View Ave San Francisco, CA, 94114 WENDY STORCH | 415.519.6091
