2865 Green Street

Picturesque home on the last block of Green Street! Backing up to the Presidio and the iconic Lyon Street steps, this flat, tree-lined street houses an array of gorgeous dwellings. Past the bright, pristine façade is a contemporary home with three bedrooms and two full and one half bathrooms, with an elevator to all three levels.

The gracious entry foyer is up a flight of stairs, with a deep coat closet, oak flooring, and high ceilings overhead. Around the corner is a sophisticated living room with a striking wood-burning fireplace and accent wall, flanked by a built-in bookshelf to the right and a wet bar on the left. The room faces north with a stunning wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to a balcony that runs across the width of the house. Across from the fireplace is a wall of beautifully constructed cabinetry with arched openings for display shelving and cabinetry below.

On the other side of the foyer is an expansive and sunny formal dining room or family room, illuminated by southern sunlight from almost floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors out to the backyard. There is excellent storage space with double closets built in. Adjacent to this room is the lovely eat-in kitchen, upgraded with sleek porcelain flooring, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and deluxe appliances including a Wolf cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, double oven, wine refrigerator, and more. There is ample space for a breakfast table, and French doors open directly to the garden, allowing for a seamless indoor/outdoor experience.

Near the entrance to the kitchen is a pantry closet, as well as a large laundry room equipped with a side-by-side washer and dryer and plenty of folding and storage space, and a chic powder room with a stylish marble-topped vanity.

Up the skylit main staircase is the second level, which houses three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The generous primary bedroom boasts a window bay facing the lush garden greenery, two cedar-lined closets, and a built-in dresser with a marble top. Attached to the bedroom is a walk-out deck overlooking the garden – the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. A fabulous skylit dressing room is ensuite, outfitted with double closets with hanging space, built-in shelving, and a wide built-in vanity with a marble countertop. The dressing room flows naturally into the elegant primary bathroom, graced with a marble-topped vanity and a Jacuzzi tub with a shower overhead.  

Past the storage closet off the landing are two sizeable bedrooms, which share an attractive tile bathroom with a shower over a tub. On the left is a wonderful bedroom featuring a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, a substantial step-in closet, and a peek of the San Francisco Bay through oversized north-facing windows. The right bedroom has double closets, and a linen closet is across from the bathroom.

On the lower level of the home is a bonus playroom, family room, or office, with direct access to the backyard, and a concealed plumbing wall should one wish to build out a kitchenette. Adjacent is a room-sized storage closet which could serve well as a bedroom, and two closets in the garage. The oversized two-car (side-by-side) garage with interior access is ripe with expansion potential to fit your needs.

A sun-filled south-facing backyard offers a spacious paved area for seating and entertaining, as well as a deep terraced area with pretty landscaping, and bank of mature trees creating a lush privacy wall at the back of the lot.

The current owners have been issued permits for a fabulous expansion/renovation plan including adding a fourth level to the home and building out the lower level. Move in as-is today or embark on the renovation of your dreams with no delay!

This home is ideally located steps from some of San Francisco’s grandest and most exclusive residences, the fantastic views from the Lyon Street Steps, and easy access to the Presidio with miles of greenery and trails, restaurants, a golf course, and more. A short walk from excellent schools, the Palace of Fine Arts, Marina Green, Crissy Field, and the shops and restaurants on Union and Chestnut Street.
