Original carved doors set into the beautiful articulated facade welcome visits into the lofty spaces of Anchor Steam House, graced by stained glass windows, deep custom crown moldings, ceiling medallions, and oak hardwood floors with elegant mahogany inlay. Two distinguished fireplaces, now with gas burning inserts, include a one-of-a-kind, carved white marble mantle and a second, quintessential Mahogany stick Victorian, hand-crafted and designed as an etagere for displaying collections and treasured belongings of the period.
The expansive and grand living room, with artisanal, muscular detailing and soaring ceilings, opens from a gallery-scaled hallway providing a handsome entertaining space: deep window bay, southfacing tall windows and deep, functional pocket doors providing access to the double-parlor guest suite. Wood paneling, wainscot, elaborate cornice and delicate rosettes inform this elegant room with flexible use as public or private space.
The heart of the home is a classically styled, professionally equipped, remodeled kitchen with rich panel doors, KitchenAid, Thermador and Bosch appliances, pot rack, work island and integrated dining room.
The master bedroom with deep window bay has roomy proportions and a serene private feel. A luxurious tumbled stone tile bath features separate shower and vessel tub, high ceilings and transom windows with a lush verdant outlook.
The third bedroom with sleeping loft features one of the stunning original carved doors and outlooks to the shared patio garden. An elegant second full bath with shower over tub, fullsized laundry, excellent closets customized with the Elfa system, security and NEST thermostats make this home as convenient as it is elegant and refined: evocative of a bygone era and fully modernized for the 21st century.
Life in the Mission is at your doorstep with the Valencia corridor shopping and eateries close at hand, nightlife on Mission Street, the Media Gulch section to the east boasting Tartine Manufactory, Mission Cliffs, Trick Dog, Flour and Water, and art galleries featuring emerging artists.
