INTRODUCTION
This romantic Italian villa enjoys impressive Golden Gate Bridge and Pacific Ocean views with the ever-changing colors of sea and sky. The
breath-taking vista is central to this residence from which one can see the traversing of elegant cruise ships, freighters and sailboats in
and out of the San Francisco bay. The newly installed classic facade is reminiscent of elegant country homes in Tuscany with its rich hues of
washed terra cotta, limestone cladding, ornamentation and handcrafted wrought iron work which beautifully complement the paned windows with
fanlights and red tile roof.
The view terrace and expansive garden bring added enjoyment to Sea Cliff living. Alfresco dining on the private sunny terrace and relaxation in
the rose and rhododendron-filled garden is part of the rarified ambience. One can walk or jog to China and Baker Beaches for sun and surf or
to the Palace of the Legion of Honor.
The gracious floor plan is ideal for elegant entertaining and comfortable city living. On the main floor, the dining room, family room, gourmet
kitchen and breakfast room all take in the bridge and water views through oversized picture windows. The spacious, tranquil Master Suite also
has oversized picture windows with the panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay and Marin Headlands. The luxurious master spa is clad
in limestone and features Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The lower level media room features a fireplace and corner picture windows with
bridge and water views, and opens onto the newly installed wrought iron balcony with steps down to the terrace and garden.
The home is conveniently accessible to the Financial District through the Presidio and to SFO via I280. This is Sea Cliff living at its best in a
rare urban setting.
