Classical motif in Inner Sunset

Period details create stately presence in trilevel

First impressions can’t be understated, especially in home design. In the case of 1336 Fourth Ave, anyone who enters immediately understands historical tradition matters here.

“It’s grace and elegance in an excellent Inner Sunset location,” said Yola Ozturk of Vanguard Properties, who is co-listing the home with Simran Alden for $3.495 million.

Arches and wide moldings in the foyer reflect the myriad of formal finishes found throughout the classical construction. These period details represent the commitment to maintaining a stately presence. This is further evidenced by the dining room’s inlaid hardwood flooring, coffered ceiling and leaded glass cabinetry.

Design pivots to contemporary in the kitchen. Thermador appliances equip the space accented by steely blue subway tiles. Traditional cabinetry and refined hardware reiterate the home’s classical motif.

Live/work potential takes the form of a lower level with its own entrance and living room, as well as an office, bedroom and full bathroom.

A towering evergreen shades the far portion of the deep lot sited on a slanted stretch of the Inner Sunset. The backyard’s landscaping improvements include the new deck, a pebble patio and tall planting beds with a massive evergreen anchoring the design.

The levels expand in size with each ascending floor. The largest — the upstairs bedroom level — crowns the trilevel with nearly 1,350 square feet of high ceilings and large closets. A scene-stealing master suite hosts a marble bathroom and freestanding soaking tub.

Light fixtures and hardware found in the master bathroom

repeat and relate throughout the home’s remaining washrooms. Built-in cabinetry and storage conveniences a mudroom finished with a subway tile backsplashes and Art Deco tile floor.

Golden Gate Park and UCSF reside a few blocks away, while retail therapy and diverse fare await at Cole Valley’s various boutiques and eateries.
