Property Description
A true Shangri-La in the city, this extraordinary midcentury home in Forest Hill offers serenity, style, architectural pedigree, and views on a rare 6438 square foot wooded lot with mature trees and green outlooks. Designed with remarkable flow, architecturally interesting details like angled open beam ceilings and slanted windows, east to west light from sunrise on the SF hills to sunsets on the Pacific Ocean, luminous volume across three levels, this beautifully maintained home is filled with natural light and verdant outlooks that create a peaceful, airy ambiance throughout. At the heart of the home, a pristine open kitchen crafted by Al Lanier (husband of celebrated artist Ruth Asawa) anchors the main entertaining level with timeless sophistication. A dining room with direct deck access, living room with fireplace and wall of floor to ceiling paned windows, charming front den/guest room, and full BA complete this level. Upstairs, the generous and tranquil primary view suite with fireplace and sitting area provides a private retreat, while two generous bedrooms with a full bath and laundry on the lower level offer flexible living. Impeccably maintained with incredible intention, this home is a true sanctuary. A separate 3-car garage at the rear of the property, accessed via a private easement, completes this rare offering in one of San Francisco's most coveted neighborhoods. The home's cul-de-sac location is incredibly private, one block to Hawk Hill, a short walk to West Portal restaurants and shopping, Forest Hill and West Portal MUNI stations, and 101 and 280 freeways.
