Contemporary masterpiece built with ‘exacting precision’ in Cow Hollow
The Bay Area’s real estate boom has also been a boon for architects, designers and builders looking to showcase their skill. 1864 Greenwich St. in Cow Hollow is the latest piece of evidence in the architectural revival.
“Bespoke design, exquisite architecture and unparalleled attention to detail define this home,” said Helena Zaludova of Paragon Real Estate Group, who is listing the four-level view home created by San Francisco’s M-Projects for $7.495 million
The luxury residence hits all the marks modern designers aim for. Open, airy public rooms, extensive use of natural light, ample outdoor entertain- ment areas and stylish finishes are all in abundance here.
Brilliant white stucco pairs with rich cedar accents to create eye-catching curb appeal. From a distance the home’s timberclad pent room and two-story roof deck come into focus.
The lower of the two roof decks features a cedar railing surrounding the timber deck and synthetic lawn, while the higher features panoramic views of San Francisco landmarks. A glass barrier provides protection while minimizing its impact on the views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and the skyline.
Arclinea cabinetry and Miele appliances provide function to a kitchen accentuated by Calacat-
ta marble counters with waterfall edges. A sprawling marbletopped island with built-in seating and storage spans more than half the length of the room and acts as the kitchen’s centerpiece. A quaint breakfast area with built-in table sits opposite the island.
Integrated appliances and dual sinks provide functionality, and wide-plank hardwood flooring leads to an entertainment area warmed by a ribbonflame gas fireplace with floorto-ceiling marble surround and a deck overlooking the backyard.
The opposite end of the main level includes another gas fireplace with towering marble surround, as well as a dining area illuminated by a Charles De Lisle chandelier. The main level also includes an open-air courtyard with wooden deck and electrical hookups for a barbecue.
All four levels are connected by a hardwood staircase with floating treads. Timber boards vertically spaced inches apart stretch to the ceiling in some spots and complement the banisters’ sharp geometric styling.
“It’s a contemporary masterpiece built with exacting precision,” Zaludova said of the home.
The au-pair suite on the lower level opens directly to the yard through a 12-foot sliding glass door. An exterior staircase descends to the rectangular space with high privacy fences, bamboo plantings and Indonesian volcanic stone. A laundry room, utility room and four-car garage are also located on the lowest level.
