50 25th Avenue

Secluded by the lush trees of a quiet curving street in the coveted Sea Cliff neighborhood, this elegant five-bedroom home dates to 1913, has been painstakingly updated, and boasts an invigorating sense of volume, enchanting traditional details, generous public spaces, restful private quarters, and alluring outdoor areas. The large lot includes a garden, driveway, and two-car garage overlooked by multiple terraces.

A lovely, frosted glass door opens to the foyer, which introduces the home’s beautiful oak hardwood floors, impressive moldings, and original gumwood wainscoting. It flows easily to a living room with a bay window and a gas fireplace, a formal dining room with French doors to a tree-shaded terrace with built-in seating, and a discreet powder room. The kitchen has high-end appliances including a Wolf range, two sinks, classic white cabinetry, and a bright breakfast area with a wall of windows and French doors that lead to the spacious garden below. The garden is an outdoor oasis with mature trees over the synthetic lawn and an outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ.

The bedroom level offers three bedrooms, one of which is a spacious suite with glass doors to balcony with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and a sizable bath featuring a shower, a dual sink vanity, and a separate water closet. The second and third bedrooms share a hall bath and access to a sunroom with its own charming terrace. The laundry room is conveniently located on this floor and includes a washer/dryer, laundry sink, and additional storage.

On the light-flooded uppermost level is the principal suite, which features glass doors leading to a regal balustraded balcony, a gas fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with a soaking tub, a water closet, a dual sink vanity, and an oversized glass-walled shower with dual shower heads. Across the hall is a versatile office or bedroom with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Pacific Ocean.

The lower level includes a media room with a wet bar, a game room with a wine cellar, and a guest apartment with a guest room and bath, a kitchenette, a living/dining area, and backyard access.

The location is one of the most desirable in the city, with postcard-worthy vistas and easy access to Baker Beach, the Presidio National Park, and nearby restaurants.
