Revived Alamo Square Victorian
Updated three-bedroom offers modern amenities
Alamo Square contains some of San Francisco’s most famous architecture, and two blocks south of the iconic Painted Ladies stands a three-bedroom Victorian ready for a new owner.
“It has a real grand, sexy feel,” said Lisa Miller of Sotheby’s International Realty, who is co-listing 540 Fillmore St. with Carrie Goodman for $3.595 million.
Extensively remodeled by the seller who relocated for work, the trilevel home with an east-west orientation enjoys classical finishes amid modern conveniences.
A wet bar greets guests just beyond the front door, while the formal dining room stands beside a chef ’s kitchen outfit with professional appliances and views of downtown San Francisco. An owner’s suite with a spa bathroom and private deck occupies the top floor.
In front of the home, a brick patio overlooking Fillmore Street stands atop a two-car garage. The garage offers interior access and the patio connects to a sunken family room. Ceiling speakers lend their functionality to the carpeted space that could also function as a home office. This segues to a bedroom that opens to the outside.
The main level holds the public rooms and introduces itself with a foyer offering a backlit wet bar. Dark-stained hardwood flooring graces the space as a grand staircase stands to the left. A wide entryway beside the foyer transitions to a living room with a gas fireplace, a sculpted ceiling, and bay window. Down the hall, the formal dining room features wainscoting and a gas fireplace of its own.
Custom cabinetry and a farmhouse sink finish a kitchen that revolves around a dining island. The kitchen includes a family area that opens to a deck that descends to the backyard.
An owner’s suite with cathedral ceilings occupies the upper level. Here, pocket doors with leaded glass windows fashion the walk-in closet while the spa bathroom features a claw-footed soaking tub. The suite culminates with an east-facing deck that looks out at the city skyline.
