Originally designed by noted San Francisco architect, Willis Polk, this home has been reimagined and expanded over the years with complete respect for its early heritage. The result is absolute luxury with chic sophistication and gorgeous grounds. The all-shingled exterior in a rich navy blue is complemented by soft white millwork and Doric columns, nowhere more apparent than on the signature covered front porch draped in foliage. Inside, every inch of the home is meticulously crafted in crisp white with contrasting hardwood floors and a vast array of divided light windows and interior and exterior doors. A secondary foyer includes a bank of doors with divided light mirrored panels reflecting the newly reconfigured staircase to the upper level.

Just off the main entrance, the living room is a spacious venue for entertaining with a fireplace and three sets of double French doors, each with matching side lights and opening to the covered porch. Divided light pocket doors conceal the formal dining room with glamorous oval glass chandelier and a library/office is well appointed with custom cabinetry, wet bar, and private garden patio.

Flowing off the secondary foyer is the heart of the home with spacious family room with fireplace, casual dining area, and fully remodeled stunning kitchen. Elaborate wall moldings in the family room recall the original architecture along with divided light French doors with cremone hardware opening to the rear terrace and pool beyond. The casual dining area is updated with three suspended lights with modern panache and the kitchen unfolds in an all-white palette with huge center island with counter seating, Carrara marble countertops, subway-set tile backsplashes, and a built-in seating banquette.

The two-story floor plan has 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths beginning with a luxurious main-level primary suite with two fully customized walk-in closets, French doors to a covered rear porch, and luxurious bath in Calacatta marble and limestone. Features include heated floors with decorative inlays, a free-standing tub, shower with rain and fixed sprays, dual-sink vanity, and private commode room. Two upstairs bedrooms each have an en suite bath, one with shower and one with tub and overhead shower, there are two bedrooms with shared bath with dual-sink vanity and shower, plus just off the kitchen there is a privately accessed bedroom suite with tub and overhead shower that is perfect for guests or an au pair.

Stepping outside, the professionally landscaped grounds begin with a brick terrace with two fire pits, connecting to a vast stretch of lawn, and then culminating at the secluded pool and separate spa. The newly renovated pool house doubles as a guest house with its built-in Murphy bed and kitchenette while the adjoining heated terrace with fireplace awaits outdoor enjoyment. Adding the finishing touches behind the scenes are amenities like security, sound speakers, programmable lighting, plus air conditioning upstairs and in the primary suite.
