Magnificent Italian Renaissance Revival View Home: Designed by renowned architects Wolfe & Higgins in 1924, the house is a tribute to the Italian Renaissance style, defined by classical features including its symmetrical facade, tall Palladian windows, terracotta clay tile roof, broad front loggia, charming terraces & a curved iron balcony. From the dramatic entry hall to the gracious public rooms, the home's grandeur is on full display in its generously proportioned spaces, affording comfort & luxury at a scale rarely found in San Francisco. Meticulous restoration, skilled craftsmanship & sophisticated designer finishes shape every room, where contemporary upgrades meet artistic expressions of love & care, complementing the home's original design. The professional chef's kitchen is an essential part of the home, bringing style, utility & efficiency together in a large & comfortable workspace. Equipped with thirty-five contiguous feet of Carrara marble counters & backsplash, custom Etagere cabinetry, Gaggenau double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, two Miele dishwashers, three sinks with Dornbracht fittings & two Boos Blocks, the kitchen allows a full staff or family to work without reaching across each other. Beyond the kitchen, the well-sized breakfast room suits family time & informal occasions while the adjacent dining room with its striking arched windows serves more formal gatherings. Among the upper floor's four bedrooms is the beautiful primary suite, affording luxurious space, privacy & a canvas of unobstructed Pacific Ocean views. Vistas extend north to Mt Tam & the Marin Headlands, west past the Farallon Islands & south to San Bruno Mountain. Two bedrooms offer private view terraces with the fourth bedroom currently dedicated to a fully outfitted walk-in closet & custom office. Other singular features include the stunning villa style garden terrace, cradled by climbing roses & lush plantings as well as a 1000-bottle wine cellar, temperature-controlled, fully insulated & proportioned to accommodate a party. The wide, two-car garage was extensively renovated by Garage Living in 2026, upgrading the space with Floortex coated floors, SLATSCAPE wall systems, a steel workbench & 22 ft of fine powder coated cabinetry. This inspired & distinguished residence is situated on one of the best blocks in charming Balboa Terrace. It is moments from West Portal & Lakeside Village dining, shops, great local schools, Whole Foods, 280/101 frwys & Muni Metro
