On the cusp of the Castro, Duboce Triangle and Mission Dolores, this stunning, renowned Dolores Heights home — made famous by the beloved French song San Francisco about “la maison bleue” — is everything you want! Renovated to the studs in 2009 with John Maniscalco Architecture, the home is made for entertaining and family — three levels, with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and just over 3000 square feet of living space. Soaring ceilings, Ipe floors, gorgeous period details, and great natural light on all levels. Light filled living room with bay windows, fireplace, and built in shelving. Spacious dining room with built-in buffet and cabinetry. Professional kitchen with built in SubZero refrigerator, stainless Viking stove, double Viking ovens, a built in microwave, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, breakfast bar, and plenty of work and storage space. The kitchen opens to a cozy, skylit, built-in banquette space for casual family meals and homework, and also to a spacious family room. A powder room completes the main level. The French doors from the family room and kitchen lead to the expansive, private, sun-drenched, multi level patio spaces on the 2850 sq ft lot. The lower patio is perfect for al fresco dining and lounging, and the upper patio is a wonderful outdoor play area, or a second level of relaxation and repose — with amazing City outlooks. On the home’s second level, the coveted family floor plan: there are three spacious, light filled bedrooms, a fainting room— perfect as a nursery or home office, and two full, tiled renovated baths. The master suite with a luxurious, en suite bath, opens to the patio space. On the third level, there is a second family room/den, flanked by two additional bedrooms, and a third, full tiled bath. This top level, replete with windows and skylights, is bathed in natural light, and offers peek-a-boo downtown views. Interior access to the two car side by side garage, and an additional guest space parallel to the garage. Newer foundation, many new windows and doors, updated electrical and plumbing. New washer and dryer. Refinished floors, and freshly painted inside and out. Incredible 98 WalkScore and 97 TransitScore — easily get to anywhere you want to go in the city. Walk to world class restaurants, shops, and cafes. Steps to Le Marais Bakery, Frances, Tartine, Delfina, Dear Inga, BiRite, Dolores Park, the J-Church, F, E and L lines, and tech shuttles. A stunning retreat in the heart of the city.
