    Corner parcelDramatic viewsItalian renaissance villaGarden vignettesYear round entertaining
    Magnificently positioned on San Francisco's western edge, 540 El Camino Del Mar offers an extraordinary blend of prominence, privacy, and utility. Situated on a flat and level corner parcel measuring 17,149 sq.ft. (per tax records), the fully walled and gated 1926 Italian Renaissance Villa majestically spans 10,961 sq. ft.(per draftsperson), boasting approximately 20+ rooms spread across three floors. Combining aesthetic beauty with grandeur and prestige, vast dramatic views stretch from the mouth of the Pacific Ocean to the Marin Headlands, the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, to the cliffs and beaches of Park Presidio. Multiple indoor/outdoor living vignettes and the surrounding enchanting gardens complement the city's Mediterranean climate, providing both formal and casual entertaining opportunities for year round gatherings. This is one of San Francisco's most remarkable estate properties designed by celebrated architect, Earle B. Bertz, one that truly balances period elegance and luxurious scale with modern sensibilities, joy, and playfulness. And after more than three decades of loving stewardship, it is now ready for its next chapter of devotion, happiness, celebrations and dreams.
