Originally built in 1884 as the gardener’s cottage for Adolph Sutro, first Mayor of San Francisco, 542 46th Ave is not your average beach “cottage”…it’s amazing in every way, and you, my dear readers, are the first to see it.
Property Details:
Rebuilt with loving attention to detail and stylistic integrity for its owner by renowned architect, Alec Wilson, this home became a favorite of photographers and has been featured throughout the Pottery Barn Design Library book series, as well as numerous catalogues including Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Restoration Hardware. Natural light pours in from all sides through magnificent windows and skylights, yet the home feels private because of its lush garden surroundings. The home feels airy and flows beautifully between spaces that are open and defined, its antique wide-plank hardwood floors [trucked across country from a barn on the East Coast] adding a layer of continuity and warmth throughout. Thoughtfully crafted built-in benches, shelves and nooks provide amazing storage and display opportunities in addition to additional comfort and sense of organization. Paneled wainscoting, reclaimed redwood surfaces [from the original cottage rafters] coupled with natural stone and high-end hardware throughout make this home feel luxurious at every touch.
There are breathtaking vistas of the ocean from each of the upstairs bedrooms as well as the living room and decks on the main, bedroom and roof level. This home is a dream for anyone who loves to gather large groups of friends and family for meals and barbecues – the professional kitchen is a natural place to gather and work together, the indoor and outdoor living space give plenty of room to roam.
This rebuilt craftsman style home has a rich history, endless style and a list of contemporary-living features rarely found in San Francisco homes. The neighborhood offers fantastic access to parks and Ocean Beach, easy commute to the Peninsula and downtown, excellent access to great schools and a serene residential feel.
