One Eighteenth Avenue is an elegant, Mediterranean style home located on a highly desirable North of Lake cul-de-sac. Perched on the Presidio wall and featuring breath-taking views of the Presidio’s lush green landscape, the home is open on all four sides providing abundant natural light and sweeping outlooks throughout the house. There are classic architectural details that beautifully accent the home and highlight the views and serene, unique setting. With approximately 4800+ square feet in the main residence, the spacious floor plan is extremely suitable for a large or growing family with ample outdoor space for enjoying the fresh air.

The main level is comprised of an elegant entry and grand scale public rooms ideal for entertaining. The gracious living room boasts built-in bookcases, a wood burning fireplace, and picture windows framing the verdant backdrop.  The formal dining room has refined wood paneling, mirrored display cabinet and abounding space for a large gathering.  Eight can gather comfortably in the large eat-in kitchen which flows easily into a sun-filled family room centered on another wood-burning fireplace. Both lead to a beautifully landscaped, private brick terrace.

After ascending the stylish main staircase, there are four generous bedrooms and two baths, including a dramatic master suite accented by a cozy sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace and vast Presidio outlooks. The suite features, two walk-in dressing rooms and a sizable master bath. The top floor encompasses a fifth bedroom and full bath, along with a private, home office. An impressive roof deck is accessed from this level and is the perfect spot to soak up the sun, smell the fresh air and admire nature.

There is valuable additional space with this property that adds to the plethora of unique features. A two-car side by side garage sits at the back of the driveway leaving ample room for 2 additional cars or play on the protected sport court. A delightful terraced yard allows for a quiet spot overlooking the Presidio with the sound from a soothing fountain adding to the serenity. Proceed down a pathway amongst the trees to a play area ideally designed for a trampoline. Easily accessed from inside the home or through its own private entrance is an studio unit with kitchenette and full bath, perfect for a guest suite, au-pair quarters, an in-law apartment, or a live-in housekeeper. There is also an approximately 1574 square feet, three bedroom legal unit with an in-unit washer/dryer, hardwood floors and beautiful private outlooks over the Presidio. Though currently vacant, the unit was rented for $3400 a month until recently. This extra income can supplement monthly costs nicely and perhaps make this luxury property more affordable.

Ideally located at the end of the cul-de-sac on 18^th Avenue and at the end of the Presidio Wall, this home is private and quiet. Even so, it benefits from being within close proximity to many recreational and convenient locations. The Presidio and all of the beautiful and extensive walking paths, Baker Beach, Mountain Lake Park, Richmond Playground, Richmond Recreational Center, and local cafes are all within this flat walk-able and bike-able neighborhood.

Lake Street

San Francisco's Lake Street district is an ideal place for those who love the outdoors and are seeking a green respite with easy access to the rest of the City. It is one of those rare areas in our urban environment where quiet family life is the norm. Stretching all the way from Arguello Boulevard to 27th Avenue, you'll find single family homes and condos in a variety of architectural styles; this being San Francisco of course, there are quite a few Edwardian and Victorian properties to choose from. The sprawling and diverse Presidio of San Francisco is your backyard, offering endless recreation opportunities. Several parks dot the neighborhood as well. Rochambeau and Richmond Playgrounds are popular for small children and basketball players. Mountain Lake Park offers a popular dog run, tennis courts, a running trail and of course the lake, which is a charming spot to stroll on sunny days. And, of course, bike lanes running along Lake Street lead avid cyclers north across the Bridge into the hills of Marin County. Though not part of the neighborhood, the Clement Street business district is a very short walk away. A remarkable selection of cuisines and shopping can be found here, as well as a number of low key bars for the night owl in your household. Several Muni lines serve the neighborhood to whisk commuters downtown and back with ease.
