With an expansive floor plan including three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and a two car garage, this superlative residence underwent a major rebuild and complete transformation. Reimagined with high-end finishes and thoughtful upgrades, this private and elegant sanctuary features dazzling ocean and forest views, ample space, and a rejuvenating setting at the foot of Mt. Davidson. Designed to maximize views from every level, this one-of-a-kind home inspires tranquility with its secluded, natural surroundings, while offering luxurious amenities, sophisticated style, and generous, well-appointed spaces for living, working, and entertaining.
Beyond its handsome facade, the home’s welcoming entryway leads into a grand, open space extending the entire width of the house that encompasses the living room, dining room, and adjoining kitchen. Enormous picture windows fill the space with light and afford inspiring, west-facing views stretching to the ocean, while gleaming Brazilian oak hardwood floors and refined finishes lend an air of sophistication. With its impressive setting for cozy nights at home or entertaining guests, the living area also features an inset gas fireplace with a dramatic surround of black granite. Two large storage closets and a stylish half-bathroom add functionality to this level, as well.
The custom-designed chef’s kitchen boasts top-line appliances including a Wolf stove top range, Miele dishwasher, electric oven, and combination oven/microwave, and a Sub-Zero 42” refrigerator. An appealing balance of form and functionality, this stylish workspace features gleaming quartzite counters, sleek backsplash tile, and a generous kitchen island, plus gorgeous white oak cabinets and a large pantry.
While the dining area provides ample space for indoor meals, glass-paned doors off the kitchen open to a generous deck, offering an ideal space for al fresco dining while taking in breathtaking sunset views. Stairs from the deck lead down to a large yard and the lower level.
Creating an ideal separation between rooms for entertaining and rooms for repose, all three bedrooms are located on the second level. The spacious ensuite primary bedroom is a tranquil escape with expansive ocean and forest views and two large walk-in closets. The oversized ensuite bathroom features a sumptuous soaking tub, plenty of storage, a vanity, and beautiful quartzite tile with inlaid details. The other two bedrooms have generous closets, with one bedroom offering ocean views and the other looking out to the forested slopes of Mt. Davidson. A linen closet, washer/dryer, and full bathroom with west-facing views, handsome granite flooring, and an aromatherapy steam shower are also located on this level.
Stairs ascend to the upper level and a marvelous, light-filled great room extending the entire width of the home with a vaulted ceiling. Large windows offer spectacular ocean views to the west and Mt. Davidson outlooks to the east. This impressive and massive room offers plenty of space for a wide variety of uses.
From the home’s main entry stairs lead down to interior access to the garage with side-by-side parking for two cars. Further down is an expansive space for a multitude of uses, including a den, media room, home office, or possible guest quarters. A glass-paned door opens from this extensive space out to the backyard and a walkway with stairs leads back up to the kitchen.
This pristine home was redesigned and almost entirely rebuilt with impressive upgrades and first-rate finishes (architect-designed and fully permitted). The home’s original footprint was expanded outward, upward, and downward with significant foundation and structural work, new electrical and plumbing, a new composite artificial slate roof, Hardie Board siding, and much more. The home features zoned radiant floor heating, built-in Klipsch speakers, on-demand water heaters, and Marvin top-grade wood casement windows. The house was hardwired for the internet and also features a sprinkler fire suppression system.
While the wooded setting ensures privacy and tranquility, the home is walking distance to West Portal’s shops, cafes, restaurants, and West Portal and Forest Hill Muni train stations, with Noe Valley, Cole Valley, and 9th Avenue shopping and dining nearby. Just a few blocks from bus lines on Portola, the home also offers nearby freeway access for commuting.
Mt. Davidson is located directly across the street with a hiking trail just steps away. The trail winds through peaceful woods of towering eucalyptus and cypress trees and ends in panoramic views from the highest point in San Francisco.
From its expansive floor plan and magnificent views to its peaceful location and high-quality construction and lavish finishes, this impressive home offers a rare opportunity for an exceptional lifestyle that combines the relaxation and natural beauty of Marin County-style living with the vibrancy of city culture, fine dining, and entertainment moments away.
Neighborhood
Perched along the eastern face of Mount Davidson, Miraloma Park boasts beautiful views and homes in a wide variety of architectural styles. Most of the neighborhood's homes were conceived as a single development constructed prior to WWII. Today, it is home to families of all ages and backgrounds. Mount Davidson is the highest hill in San Francisco and offers an abundance of invigorating walks with surprising views around every bend. Miraloma Park's proximity to Glen Canyon makes it an ideal destination for those who thrive on nature but can't always get out of the city. When it's time to venture back indoors, residents convene along the small commercial strip on Portola that serves the area.
Here you'll find high-end groceries, coffee shops and bakeries, as well as basic services like a drugstore and gas station. While nights are quiet, many residents delight in the dining options afforded in nearby Glen Park and West Portal. Miraloma Park is home to a classic clubhouse built around 1940 and operated by the Miraloma Park Improvement Club. It hosts many private events as well as an annual holiday bazaar, just one of many events that encourage neighbors to get together.
