Stylish flat in Pacific Heights
Restored residence blends classical, contemporary details
Elegance abounds at 2444 Clay St. in Pacific Heights, a fourbedroom flat with a bonus room situated within a stylishly updated early 20th Century Victorian.
“This is a quintessential Queen Anne,” said Rita V. Schmid of Vanguard Properties, who is colisting the residence with Roxana Melgarejo for $2.99 million. “It’s been lovingly restored and has a remodeled eatin kitchen and deeded patio.”
Located between Alta Plaza Park and Lafayette Park, the listing boasts roughly 2,600 square feet of living space. The updated interiors blend period details with contemporary comforts. A Viking range, SubZero refrigerator, ULine wine refrigerator and Sharp drawer microwave highlight the reimagined chef ’s kitchen anchored by a center island. Outside, the deeded patio features privacy fencing and provides an ideal space for gathering and entertaining.
The long hallway with decorative wainscoting leads to the entry of this stylish home. The original double parlor now houses a living room and a bedroom, with the bedroom hosting an office nook and window seating.
A coffered ceiling embraces the lovely family room, which includes bay windows, hardwood flooring and a gas fireplace with marble surround.
Designed for preparing lavish meals and hosting a crowd, the chef ’s kitchen hosts stainless steel appliances and a large island with bar seating. Pendant lights brighten the interior, which already bathes in natural light thanks to windows on two sides.
The kitchen connects to the family room through a wide entryway. Original builtins lend additional storage space
to the family room. Nearby, the bonus room is staged as a dining room.
Elegant design inhabits the two full bathrooms and powder room. Art Deco tiling lines the floors and one bathroom includes a clawfooted bathtub.
