Situated on a tranquil residential block in Sea Cliff, 251 28th Avenue is a meticulously updated residence from 1916 that elegantly marries the charm of classic San Francisco architecture with the conveniences of modern living. Rich period craftsmanship, including crown moldings and refined millwork, enhances the gracious, light-filled rooms, which are designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings. The main level seamlessly transitions to a reimagined garden, creating a rare indoor-outdoor living experience that is ideal for dining, lounging and lazy afternoons. Thoughtfully landscaped, the garden serves as a natural extension of the home. On the upper level, three serene bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, including a primary suite that features peekaboo views of the Golden Gate Bridge and an updated ensuite bath. The versatile lower level offers adaptable space for media, work, or recreation space. Additionally, the home includes a detached garage, perfectly suited for use as a home office, creative space, or fitness studio. Located just moments from Lincoln Park, Baker Beach, Lands' End, and the Presidio, this residence enjoys close proximity to some of San Francisco's most stunning coastal landscapes.
