Inside a Tudor-Style Home in Presidio Heights - Sotheby´s International Realty | Blog

Abstract

Timeless elements of Tudor style are prevalent: diamond-paned leaded-glass windows, deeply hued wood rafter beams contrasting with soothing white walls, high ceilings, and old-growth quarter-sawn hardwood floors. Beyond the inviting foyer is a light-filled living room with a stone fireplace, a formal dining room with a leaded-glass bay window, and a streamlined kitchen with a full complement of stainless-steel appliances-including a wine chiller-and a charming breakfast area. On the two upper floors are six serenely stylish bedrooms with palettes that encourage restful relaxation, ample closets, and baths-many en suite-with vintage-inspired fixtures and finishes. The chic primary bedroom boasts oversized windows admitting lovely light and gazing out over neighboring treetops and rooflines toward the Golden Gate Bridge, a sizeable walk-in closet with abundant built-ins, and an elegant spa-inspired bath with a jetted soaking tub and steam shower. Expanding the options for recreation and entertainment is a warm and welcoming family room with a painted brick-framed fireplace, striking beam work, hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves and cabinets, and a discreet bar closet. One of the versatile top-floor bedrooms could easily function as a home gym or a second office. The brightly lit lower level offers a wine cellar and tasting room, an additional bedroom and bath ideal for staff or long-term visitors, a half bath, a spacious laundry room, the home's garage, and a recreation and game room with a wet bar and French doors to the idyllic backyard garden.
