1815 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94123

A grand First Bay Tradition home, conveniently located on an oversized lot in Pacific Heights with easy walking access to Cow Hollow, the Marina and Russian Hill, provides a hush upon entry as you are transported by the quiet forest view beyond nearly property-wide floor to ceiling French doors with an ancient coastal redwood for sentry. Built to integrate nature and inspire harmony, the home has an asymmetrical balance in its shingled facade and interior spaces. The middle levels center on gracious foyers that both separate spaces and provide an open-ness that was not present in earlier Victorian style homes. The main level presents large living spaces that flow together around the garden - a large L shaped living room, dining room and separate elegant kitchen with breakfast bar and butler's pantry, as well as a convenient bath. Step into the level garden to be surrounded by nature, enjoy a built-in spa, BBQ grill w/piped gas, high-end turf for play & big deck for entertaining. Upstairs, the bedroom level has a huge primary suite with ample built in closets as well as a walk-in closet, two more spacious bedrooms, a laundry closet, and hall bath w/soaking tub + step in shower. The top floor family room is flooded with light from huge skylights and contains the 4th and 5th bedrooms as well as a full bath w/double vanity, a sink area perfect for crafts and a study nook. From the study nook, ascend a sturdy spiral staircase to the crowning jewel of the home - a roof deck with 360 degree views of the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge & Marin headlands beyond. The ground level completes the home: parking with interior access to the home; a two room guest suite with full bath, kitchenette/laundry room and its own exterior entrance; and another bath + storage and mechanical areas. 1815 Vallejo was built by Joseph Mailliard. He and his brother John were nephews of abolitionist Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic and grandsons of one of Napoleon's personal secretaries. The Mailliard brothers were likely aware of the historical significance of everything they did. They made their own mark on history with the constriction of the sibling homes at 1815 Vallejo/2461 Gough Street, as well as contributing over 10,000 ornithological specimens to the California Academy of Sciences in 1919. Will history be made here again? Well, that depends on you
