  Public welcome! Storybook view house expanded/modernized over 3 levels

Perched on a hillside in this exclusive enclave is a unique view home filled with original character- storybook facade, moldings, bannisters, arches- and painstakingly modernized and expanded for indoor/outdoor living. Just the right flexible spaces offer a place for everyone and every need. Detailed historic facade behind mature plantings aligns with surrounding well-maintained houses and tree-lined street. Welcoming front porch opens to gracious entry hall where you are directed downstairs to the main floor. But before you head there, check out the massive show-stopping primary suite occupying nearly the entire top floor. Original pocket doors open to a sitting room with built-in closets & handsome fireplace. Gigantic picture window frames ever-changing views - clouds floating over the city, streaming sunlight, twilight that welcomes sparkling lights. Through a spectacular curved arch is a gigantic bedroom, with another picture window and attached walk-in closet & newly remodeled luxury bath with dual sinks and perfectly-placed marble tile. Completing this floor is a light-filled office (or nursery/5th bedroom) accessible from entry hall or primary suite. Head downstairs for an entertainment floor like no other. Completely open great room spans the width of the house; the living room flows effortlessly into a remodeled kitchen complete with massive island, pantry closet & pro appliances. All of this is connected to the outside; the back wall is floor to ceiling glass that disappears on both sides opening completely to massive view ipe deck. The indoor/outdoor distinction vanishes for dining alfresco with twinkling lights of the city, Twin Peaks' Sutro Tower and the shimmer of the Bay. Tucked away behind is guest bedroom perfect for au pair with separate entry & dedicated full luxury bath. One more floor down is another perfect suite of rooms. Two tall-ceilinged bedrooms w the same amazing views; both open to a second large deck. Large central family room is perfect for projects or movie night. Luxury bath & laundry/utility room. Extras include a full width attic, wine rooms and massive under-house storage. Leased parking secured for one year (at Seller's expense) across the street. All this in quiet, neighborly Mt Olympus, the geographic center of the city with easy access to Cole Valley, Castro, Haight - and beyond - parks, transit. Make your San Francisco home filled with life & love.
