Property description
Experience the peacefulness of this gracious Mid Century. Located in the historic lower section of Alvarado, the beautiful double lot backs onto Sunset Trail, a pedestrian path which leads you towards all the amenities of The Claremont. The house is level in from the street under a covered portico surrounding a sculpted evergreen. Stunning unobstructed views of SF and the GG Bridge greet you immediately and native live oak trees block lower houses. The home boasts nearly 3,000 sqft of living space, with emphasis on “living”. Five bedrooms and equally abundant public spaces grant room for everything. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with Bosch appliances and acres of counter space. The large office could be a sixth bedroom. The lower level features grand space with tall ceilings and walls that beg to hang your art gallery, or perhaps a movie screen. An alcove nearby is perfect for game tables or exercise equipment. There's even a wet bar downstairs for cocktail hour.
