On a sought-after block across from the Presidio, this elegant, impressively scaled six-bedroom residence was designed by Ernest Coxhead in 1910. The impressive foyer anchored by a regal stairway and warming fireplace flows effortlessly through an arched hallway to a formal dining room with a set of French windows and doors leading to the garden. Nearby, an industrious kitchen with a cheerful sunlit breakfast room also gives way to the garden. Adjacent is the family room, a secondary home office, a full-bath, and powder room. The grand stairway rises to the second level, which features 12-ft ceilings, a stately formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace, ornate original moldings and tall windows, and a handsome home office with a fireplace and balcony. Two additional bedrooms and a bath complete this level. On the third level, the principal suite includes a fireplace, sweeping views of the Presidio and the Golden Gate Bridge, and a walk-in closet. The remaining three bedrooms on this floor have peaceful outlooks. The uppermost level is dedicated to an attic, while the basement offers a one-car garage and abundant storage. The enchanting garden features a brick terrace for relaxing amid manicured hedges and flowering camellias, and a freestanding garden cottage.
