With gracious proportions that are rarely seen in San Francisco, this legacy Lincoln Park view home is available for the first time in generations. The stately home has an impressive street presence. Entering from the sheltered front porch you are immediately struck by the scale of the foyer, bright living room and large formal dining room. The oversized picture windows in the living room flood the room with natural light and offer views looking out over the garden to the Pacific. The built-in inglenook, fireplace and grand staircase all contribute to the sophisticated and classic feel of the home. The dining room is perfect for family meals or large scale entertaining. With ample storage, the spacious eat-in kitchen has an adjacent half bath and laundry room. On the floor above is the generously sized primary suite, which features ocean views and an ensuite bath with vintage tile. The split bath in the hall is shared by the two additional comfortable bedrooms. The top floor bedroom retreat has stunning ocean views, a fireplace and a half bath. There is elevator access from the one car garage to the floors above. The one-car garage and garden shed offer ample storage and expansion potential. This special home is ready for its next chapter. It offers easy access to Lincoln Park golf course, The Legion of Honor, shopping, schools and Ocean Beach. Rarely does one find such an exceptional home in such a fantastic location.
