Celebrated Marina District Home with Panoramic Views of San Francisco Bay and Landmarks

- By Monica Lander

Postcard-worthy panoramic views of some of San Francisco’s iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz rising from the waters of the bay, is a feast for the eyes.

Indulge all your senses from this extraordin­ary home located at the prominent corner of Marina Boulevard and Webster Street at 199 Marina Boulevard. Across the street from the Marina Green, this historic home is also a mere mile and a half from Fisherman’s Wharf, a mile from the Palace of Fine Arts, down the street from Fort Mason and its adjacent park, and steps from the San Francisco Bay Trail along the waterfront.

A fabulous rooftop terrace is the cherry on top of this treat. Can you imagine the views from this vantage? Breathtaki­ng, to say the least.

Almost 2,900 square feet of living space is on three levels, with more than 1,500 square feet of outdoor space on three luxury terraces and four balconies.

A historic home built in 1937, it has been meticulous­ly maintained and updated with sophistica­ted features while retaining the integrity of famed art deco accents and gleaming hardwood floors. An open, light-drenched floor plan showcases four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a formal living room, a dining room, an eat-in chef ’s kitchen, and a family room. Several rooms seamlessly connect to the inviting outdoor spaces.

Enter at the street level, where there is a more-than320-square-foot family room and one bedroom plus a full bath with French door access to a 500-square-foot patio. This level is ideal for an au pair or guests.

Climb the stairs to the inviting and generous living room anchored by a corner fireplace and a front-facing bay window. The adjacent dining room features access to a balcony and the stylishly appointed chef ’s kitchen that features stainless appliances, including a Subzero refrigerat­or, two Miele dishwasher­s, and a Thermador range, plus a wok cooktop with a full stainless backsplash. Stainless countertop­s are also featured, plus a stunning chiseled edged stone sink, a breakfast bar illuminate­d by a pair of sleek pendants, and access to one of the amazing terraces.

Two bedrooms and one bathroom are also on this level. Each bedroom enjoys a private balcony.

The third level is dedicated to a sumptuous master suite with a front-facing bay window and a private balcony. The spa-inspired master bath is appointed with a freestandi­ng bathtub and a frameless glass-enclosed shower with multiple body jets.

There is also a two-car garage and a two-car carport.

Top-rated K-12 schools are within a mile and include Sherman Elementary (API 931), Marina Middle (API 805), and Galileo High School.

About three miles to downtown San Francisco and

Twitter Headquarte­rs and the Sales Force Tower, enjoy convenient access to other tech giants along the Peninsula and Silicon Valley and the less-than-17-mile-drive to the San Francisco Internatio­nal Airport.
