INTRODUCTION

Centered between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz, this immaculate Tudor-style home affords a prime Marina Boulevard location.

Classic architectural styling defines the façade, which is detailed with half-timbering and a stately gabled roofline. The refinement continues inside, where the rich character blends with modern conveniences and dramatic, sun-swept spaces. The grand living room exemplifies the home's abundant natural light, showcasing north-facing views above the Bay, Marina, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz. Many fine finishes enhance the ambiance, including hardwood floors, high ceilings, skylights, and luxurious marble.

The 3-bedroom and 3.5-bath floorplan offers both flexibility and sophistication. On the upper level, a richly paneled library with woodburning fireplace allows for family room and in-home office functions. Down the window-lined hall, the media room provides a comfortable entertaining atmosphere with wet bar and north-facing view window. Two levels of south-facing sun decks overlook the privately situated, brick garden terrace.

Perfect for al fresco dining and leisurely gatherings, this lush setting is adorned with an assortment of foliage and flowering outgrowths.

Expanding the possibilities is a well-appointed lower level apartment with separate outside entrance. Ideal for staff or in-law needs, the 1-bedroom unit includes full kitchen and garden access. Three-car tandem garage parking and wine cellar complete this distinctive Marina property.
