Ever wonder who owns those stately homes in Pacific Heights? You can be one of them if you’re willing to give this Vallejo Street home some TLC. Built in 1913, this historic Georgian estate has a solid and stately brick exterior, large windows, and a private gated entrance. You’ll find magical views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, and the Marin Headlands. You’ll also be situated in one of the city’s most prestigiou­s neighborho­ods—Pacific Heights, home to the Gettys, the Trainas, and any number of San Francisco elite. Although a fire seriously damaged the home, it offers limitless potential. Conceptual, unapproved architectu­ral drawings are available to give you a starting point to create your ideal abode. The home offers five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths in its 4,500 square feet. The large living and dining rooms both have wood-burning fireplaces. On the third floor, imagine a large master suite with a private bath. Give it a deep soaking tub, a separate stall shower, and a marble vanity. There’s also room for a separate office. When restoring this home, you have the opportunit­y to design the kitchen of your dreams. Install a large island, wine storage, and profession­al-grade appliances. Get creative with a colorful tile backsplash, or adorn surfaces in classic marble. If you have a large family, build in extra storage. Proposed floor plans include the original dumbwaiter and a laundry chute. Give your day a tranquil start with coffee in the sunny breakfast nook next to the kitchen or on the back patio, where you can appreciate the surroundin­g gardens. Even the roof, with its stellar views, has terrace potential. Located at 2008 Vallejo near Laguna, you’re close to downtown and Galileo High School, many private schools, and only a few blocks from the excitement of Fillmore and Union streets. You’ll also have close access to the Presidio for long hikes and Crissy Field for runs and picnics.
