Our clients enjoyed the laid-back lifestyle — and excellent school district — of their Palo Alto home, but now that the kids are off to college, they wanted to come back to the vibrancy of San Francisco city living. Some city-bound empty-nesters look to downsize, but not our clients. They love to entertain for large groups, so they were all about space and opulence. That’s why they were drawn to this Victorian home lovingly preserved by the same family for nearly four decades, a true architectural masterpiece with exquisite period detail. Ascending the stairway into the impressive entry vestibule, you’re struck by original Victorian detailing, stained-glass windows, and abundant light. The formal parlor offers an expansive sitting area with a fireplace and glass-paneled pocket doors that separate it from the dining room that boasts original vaulted beam ceilings, original hardwood parquet flooring, fireplace, and an adjacent dry bar/parson's library. Off the dining room, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and breakfast area opens up to the south-facing garden. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including the elegant primary en-suite with decorative fireplace, seating area, custom built-ins and bathroom with double sinks. An additional bathroom & linen closet complete this floor. The top floor was renovated in 2022 and features two bedrooms, media room with water views, bathroom with cast iron clawfoot bathtub and kitchen with new appliances, quartz countertops & wood cabinetry. The lower level houses the laundry and serves as a storage area/gym.
