About this property
Luxury Designer Pad in the Heart of SF
Experience luxury in this recently renovated designer pad in the heart of San Francisco. This urban oasis is over a century old and was originally owned by a renowned photographer and student of Ansel Adams. This suite was previously used as his dark room where he developed a lot of his famous work!
The private guest-suite features two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one shower, one bath), an open plan living and dining space with a sleek custom kitchen. Set on a corner lot, this remodelled Victorian is a chic and quiet retreat ideal for couples, families, business travellers or people looking to work remotely.
One bedroom overlooks the garden and offers spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline. It's hard to beat sitting in bed by a large bay window and looking out beyond the wisteria and roses to the city lights. Bedroom two has a French window that opens onto the deck with access to the garden as well.
Brand new deck (accessible, both from the second bedroom and living room) leads to a charming little English garden flush with roses and hummingbirds. Find your way to the middle of the garden and perch yourself on the bench under the Wisteria for a quite read or some peaceful yoga under the blooms. Engulfed by the smell and sight of roses and the lights of downtown San Francisco as your backdrop, enjoy a starry night under the Wisteria with a hot mug of cocoa or a nice glass of Californian wine (Psst, if you’re nice, the host might indulge you with a glass of complimentary local wine).
HIGHLIGHTS:
• The kitchen features a brand new electric stove, microwave, a stylish Smeg refrigerator, wet bar and Bosch Dishwasher. Also provided are high-end appliances such as a Vitamix, Nespresso (Organic coffee, tea and Sugar included).
• Luxury bedding, organic bath (100% bamboo toilet paper, organic shampoo, conditioner, and body soap) and kitchen products provided.
• In-unit laundry with detergent provided.
• Smart radiant heat under the floors throughout the house (turned on ahead of your visit on nippy days)
• Excellent fiber internet
• 24hour check-in with Nest door lock
• Top of the line finishes including gorgeous hardwood floors, custom glass, marble, lighting and cabinetry.
• Majestic views of the San Francisco skyline from the garden room
• Small dog and cat friendly!
My family and I live upstairs. Please let us know if you are coming on a family vacation, a romantic getaway or a business trip to Silicon Valley so we can make suggestions accordingly.
Kids are most welcome (we have one human and canine growing up in this house). Based on your profile, we can drop off books, games, scooters, bicycles, a yoga mat (unwind on our deck or garden!) and occasionally some freshly baked goodies. We will also provide some nosh for your first day. Should you be so inclined, we also have a stash of amazing local and international wine!
With its vintage atmosphere and modern conveniences, unwind in our home that exudes comfort, care, inspiration & relaxation. Come and feel true San Francisco history and hospitality.
