A very special home, perched on a quiet street awaits, a new homeowner that can appreciate simple beauty in complex artistry. This 3 bed, 3 bath home has been purposefully reimagined, inside and out into a sanctuary by renowned designer, Alan Tse, creating an escape from the hectic world that is San Francisco. Clean lines and simple elegance define zen as you peer through Fleetwood windows that can seal out all of the noise or open to give you the sounds of nature. The view of the stone garden will show you tranquility at its finest. At the same time, its location to all things convenient, include tons of shopping and dining, is what life should be made of. Right around the corner from Douglass park and steps away from the shops and restaurants of Noe Valley, this one can't be missed!
