Heritage architecture meets contemporary luxury at this beautifully renovated 1880s Victorian, set directly across from Duboce Park with sweeping city and Bay views. Behind its ornate historic facade, tall windows, high ceilings, and warm hardwood floors create a bright, gracious interior designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A formal living room flows into the dining room, while a dual-sided fireplace connects to the adjoining family room. Beyond, the sleek kitchen opens to a landscaped backyard, a lush and private retreat for outdoor dining and gatherings. Thoughtful finishes include Calacatta marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a generous center island, Bosch, Wolf, and Thermador appliances, plus a wine cooler. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite captures cinematic views across the city and features a custom closet and a spa-like bath with radiant-heated floors, a multi-jet rain shower, and a chromotherapy air bath overlooking the skyline. A permitted lower-level offers remarkable flexibility, with a separate keyed entrance, two bedrooms, a full bath, a modern eat-in kitchen, a wine cellar, a dining area, and a sun-filled living room. Ideal for guests, a home office or gym, a media room, or rental use, it provides a rare degree of versatility within the home. An extensive renovation has thoughtfully brought the property into the present while preserving its unmistakable San Francisco character. Improvements include a Rarefield Design Build backyard with programmable irrigation, foundation reinforcement, Bay Alarm security, refinished hardwood floors, a full repaint, separate HVAC systems on each level, and updated bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, and gas systems. Large two-car garage and gated sidewalk entry add convenience and privacy in an exceptional central setting. With Duboce Park just outside the front door, Alamo Square and Golden Gate Park nearby, and the shops, cafes, and restaurants all within easy reach. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Francisco history.
