Less than a block from Stern Grove, this gracious Spanish Revival single-family home makes a memorable first impression with its red barrel tiles, tall arched windows, and ornamental ironwork. The home spans 3 levels. Walk up the front stairs to a sheltered front porch and through to a foyer with patterned hardwood floors. Make a right through a broad archway to the living room, where dark wood beams accentuate the vaulted ceiling, and a sculpted fireplace with decorative tile anchors the room. A tall arched window looks out toward the Mount Davidson Cross, and natural light from windows on two sides makes the room equally inviting for quiet afternoons and for gatherings. In the formal dining room, soft lighting around the ceiling dome gives the room a warm glow after dark. A sunny breakfast room with a built-in buffet connects the dining room to the kitchen, where updated cabinetry, new countertops, and stainless steel appliances sit alongside vintage tilework. Four generously sized bedrooms, two on the main level and two upstairs, give the home a flexible layout. Bay windows, built-in cabinetry, and generous closets offer ample storage, and a dressing area with natural light opens to the bathroom. A skylit stairwell leads to two more spacious bedrooms with sweeping views across red-tiled rooftops to the Pacific Ocean. Walk-in closets provide generous storage, and the second dressing area features built-in cabinetry and a vanity. Downstairs on the ground level, an expansive wood-paneled family recreation space has its own fireplace and a built-in wet bar. Partial room divisions create cozy areas for lounging and games, while allowing for easy social flow. The spacious garage offers tandem parking for two cars, a laundry area, ample storage, and a bonus 1/4 bath. A gated driveway off the rear alley provides access to the garage and additional off-street parking. Stern Grove's wooded paths are just down the block, with Stonestown Galleria and West Portal's neighborhood shops, cafes, and restaurants within blocks. Sloat Boulevard leads directly to the ocean and Portola Drive connects to Market Street for citywide access. Multiple buses stop near Sloat, and the M Ocean View stops three blocks away and runs to Embarcadero Station. Just one block over, 19th Avenue connects to I-280.
