About This Home
On coveted, quiet, tree-lined Hill street, in the heart of the sought-after Liberty Hill Historic district, this two level, semi-detached Italianate Victorian home with a remodeled standalone two bedroom rear cottage, was renovated to the studs in 2007 as the designer-owners' primary residence. The stunning home, which features three bedrooms on the top level, two and a half baths, a fireplace, two car parking, a 99 WalkScore, and a tranquil garden, is truly a rare find!
The main level features high ceilings, exquisite moldings, custom details, and radiant heated wood floors. The expansive double parlor with bay windows and a gas fireplace functions beautifully as a formal living room and a family room/den. Extra large formal dining room with bay windows overlooking the verdant side yard. The scale and layout of these rooms provides the perfect entertaining flow and ample space for large gatherings! The designer kitchen features custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, integrated Subzero refrigerator, Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, convection/microwave, and walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens to the private, lush, rear garden and patio with mature plantings. A sleek powder room completes the main level.
Up the gorgeous wood banister staircase to three spacious bedrooms and two full baths all on one level — a coveted and rare floor plan. The primary bedroom offers a sitting area, walk-in closet with custom casework, and skylight. The sumptuous primary ensuite bath offers a heated quartzite slab floor, a tiled shower, a deep soaking tub, and ample storage. A third bedroom opens with French doors to a deck overlooking the garden. All the bedrooms offer wood floors and fabulous light. A laundry space and a second, renovated tiled full bath complete the top level.
Upgraded electrical, plumbing, roof and insulation. Tankless water heater. Radiant heating on both levels with 5 thermostat-controlled zones. Full ~7ft ceiling basement with ample workspace and storage. Structural upgrades as well as voluntary anchoring and shear wall.
The stately home and cottage sit on an expansive, verdant ~3400 ft lot with a rare 30' width, providing space for a side driveway with two car parking, and private access both to the side garden and to the standalone rear cottage. The remodeled two bedroom cottage boasts 10' ceilings, a wood burning fireplace, a spacious butcher block eat-in kitchen, and its own laundry closet. The cottage is perfect for income generation, offices, au pair, guests, and intergenerational living. With windows on all four sides, it lives like a luxurious cabin in the woods.
This quiet, low-traffic block of Hill street is also a "Walker's Paradise," boasting a 99 WalkScore. Its prime location at the intersection of Dolores Heights, Mission Dolores, and Noe Valley is just steps, in any direction, to world class restaurants, markets, coffee shops, theaters, cocktail bars, and boutiques. Walk to the J-Church, BART, several MUNI stops, and tech shuttles. This special property is truly a rare find!
Neighborhood
The vibrant neighborhood of Dolores Heights is located just west of the Mission District and is sandwiched between Mission Dolores, The Castro and Noe Valley and is considered one of the Bay Area’s most affluent neighborhoods. Liberty Hill is the coveted historic district at the heart of this area.
Victorian and Edwardian-style homes – many of which were built in the early 20th-Century – make up a majority of the real estate in Dolores Heights, with condos and townhomes sprinkled throughout. Since the Twin Peaks block the strong winds from the west, Dolores Heights residents enjoy a warm, sunny climate compared to other San Francisco neighborhoods.
Mission Dolores Park hugs the eastern border of Dolores Heights, and is a popular gathering place for outdoor activities and festivals. The grassy lawns are ideal for afternoon picnics or kicking around a soccer ball. Amenities provided at Mission Dolores Park include tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground, and two off-leash dog areas. The park also hosts a variety of events including Film Nights and live performances.
When residents of Dolores Heights want to enjoy a fun night out with friends, or a delicious meal without venturing too far from home, they have any of the world class restaurants on the 18th Street corrider to choose from. From Delfina, to Dear Inge, to Frances -- the sky is the limit.
The 16th Street and Mission BART Station is blocks from Dolores Heights, and provides easy access to the financial district and East Bay. Additionally, the Muni “J” route, which runs down Church St, is another viable option for commuting to and from Union Square and the Theater District.
Eureka Valley and Dolores Heights, which includes the world-renowned Castro district, have a wonderfully rich history as the epicenter of the gay rights movement. Today, the neighborhood is undergoing another transition as the long-standing gay community welcomes young families to the increasingly diverse neighborhood. On the eastern end, coveted Liberty Hill offers tremendous views and one-of-a-kind residences.
