FEATURES AND AMENITIES

Located where Upper Cole Valley meets Belgrave Street: 1284 Stanyan is sited on two expansive level lots totaling 9,600+ square feet, and set amongst its own natural tree lined setting, flanked by Sutro Forest. The home and land values along Belgrave, are some of the very highest in the neighborhood reaching $10M-$20M. The residence, property, and gardens offer a rare combination of serene Marin-like living, center city geography, woodland + bay views, along with the ability to expand the living space into a spacious compound. The intrigue about this property starts immediately, as the home is set back far from the street and surrounded by trees. There is a gated parking area at the curb’s edge as well as a lovely entry through a solid wooden gate. The original main house dates to 1951, but was reclad with ‘solid clear heart’ Redwood from Marin County’ in 1979. Since then, the home has been beautifully updated by the current owner and features 2 Bedrooms, 2 New Bathrooms, and a gorgeously renovated kitchen with high end stainless appliances and all of the modern conveniences. The main level floor plan is flawlessly open concept – the kitchen, dining area, and living room open to one another and to the great outdoors for fully integrated living. Each area is finished with handsome natural wood trims and custom lighting. To quote a previous SF Chronicle write up on the house:

             “ It somehow feels cozy, private, and expansive, all at the same time.”

The structure lays out over two levels, and features a striking primary bedroom suite with panoramic views north to the Golden Gate Bridge and to downtown SF. It includes a luxurious primary bath with separate tub and stall shower, massive walk-in closet, meditation zone, and a walk out view deck. There are elevated clear views across the city and bay, and forested outlooks within and just outside of the lot edge. The residence is detached on all 4 sides, with brilliant natural light and nature pouring in every window, in every direction. Additional recent upgrades include electrical service to 200 amps,  rewire of house and separate artist studio, and a new sewer line from house to front yard clean out. Out back there is a sunny rear patio and a Japanese soaking tub. Just beyond the soaking tub starts the second lot (separate APN 1289-021), which is rectangular in shape with zoning of RH1 and approximately 3,420 square feet per surveyor with development possibilities. There is a small finished ‘cabin’ on the rear lot which is great flex space as an artist studio, home office, or guest overflow. The possibilities on this part of the land include additional housing, swimming pool, or Zen garden.

The collective outdoor components for this city property are incomparable : top floor sitting deck with incredible views, cool stacked rock retaining walls, sunny sitting patios on the front and back, gorgeous park-like setting. The sounds and sights of nature infuse the everyday living experience here. Located near the very top of Stanyan Street, this block is quiet, neighborly, and just steps to Cole Street cafes and shopping, world class UCSF hospital, and the museums and gardens of Golden Gate Park.
