San Francisco Chronicle - (Sunday)
Penthouse of pristine value
Alpine Terrace home offers views of the S.F. skyline
Refined and resplendent with a bespoke material palette, this twobedroom, splitlevel penthouse atop Alpine Terrace blends upscale living and striking views.
Meticulously updated during the last 25 years, the midcentury residence at 35 Alpine Terrace occupies the top floor of its building and includes a private roof deck, an additional office ideal for working from home, exclusive use of the stunning patio and garden and exclusive use of the fourplus car parking area and private garage.
“Curated with an otherworldly eye for fine art and design, the treasures found in this midcentury masterpiece begin with heartstopping unobstructed views that stretch from the Golden Gate Bridge to downtown’s skyline and around San Francisco Bay,” said Mary Macpherson of Compass, who is listing the penthouse for $2.999 million. “It’s the ideal space to shelterinplace because you’ll never want to leave.”
A limestone staircase separates the public rooms from the bedrooms, and the penthouse
includes an exclusiveuse studio overlooking the garden below.
Oak parquet Versailles and French limestone line the floors within the extravagant penthouse, while an abundance of picture windows overlook the cityscape. An 11foot ceiling shelters an updated kitchen finished with Viking appliances, Silestone counters and Thomasville cabinetry. Around the corner from the kitchen and adjacent to the open living room lies a wine grotto with a walkout view deck.
A private garden oasis waits out back. Walls provide protection from the wind, as the expansive space includes a bocce ball court, fountain, lounge, dining areas and gardening station.
The spa bathroom attached to the owner’s suite is truly indulgent. Highlighted by a 12foot copper and glass skylight, the bathroom also includes Carrera marble and a Venetian mirror dating back to the 19th Century.
A second en suite bathroom enjoys a plethora of luxury amenities as well, including a 12foot rotunda dome above a Hansgrohe rain shower. There’s also a
Koehler bidet toilet, Roburn LED medicine cabinet, heated ceramic tile floors and Carrera marble accents.
