2832 Lyon is the lower condominium residence in a well-loved two-unit building directly across from the Presidio. Not only is it a two bedroom and one bath full floor flat, but also includes a warranted large bonus/family room and half bath on the ground level AND the private deck surrounded by verdant greenery overlooking the magical shared garden. Upgrades have respected the 1921 architectural history. There is a wonderful design sensibility unifying the residence and gardens.
Afternoon light streams into the west-facing living and dining rooms, each with walls of windows and balconies facing the Presidio. These two primary entertaining rooms are connected via a large opening, allowing the space to live as one. The living room’s wood-burning fireplace anchors the room and is flanked by bookcases. There are beautiful hardwood floors throughout the residence.
Calacatta white marble counters with three large windows line the north side of the kitchen with its stainless steel sink and appliances, white shelving and dish cabinets. Louis Poulsen light fixtures add style. The six-burner white Viking professional range with stainless hood provide all the horsepower needed to produce enticing meals. The large kitchen includes an eating area with built-in seating. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry/laundry room with stacked washer/dryer.
The two east-facing bedrooms are flooded with morning light and overlook the lush garden. The well-proportioned master bedroom includes a large window seat, flanked by shelving. It connects directly to the hall bath. The second bedroom can be entered either through the master or via the hall from the pantry. The hall bath is split between the water closet and the room with the marble counter, white sink and white-tiled shower over tub.
Accessed via the walkway on the north side of the building or the back stairs from the pantry, the lower level bonus/family room and large half bath are currently used as a work studio by the owner. It is an expansive room, also infused with eastern light from its two sets of glass doors, one of which opens onto the deck, and is visually connected to the lower shared garden. Lush greenery, mature trees and beautiful plantings abound. Clearly, this is a garden that has been nourished over many years.
One car tandem parking and additional storage are included in the garage.
2832 Lyon enjoys a convenient location in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood adjacent to the GGNRA Presidio with its trees, trails and cultural & athletic facilities. Crissy Field and the path to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge are nearby. A comfortable stroll to Baker, Fillmore, Union and Chestnut Streets provides a multitude of dining, shopping and grocery options. Fort Mason in the Marina is host to a thriving Sunday Farmers’ Market.
