The 2014 renovation of 891 26th Avenue will surprise and delight. The sophisticated palette of grey and white, combined with walnut-hued hardwood floors, unifies the entire home. Multiple decks and a large rear garden expand the living space. New windows, electrical and plumbing systems yield a home as sound as it is beautiful.
Enter through the vintage black and white tiled porch into the main foyer and up to the heart of the house. The main floor of the residence is a great room with living, dining and a fabulous chef-designed gas kitchen with stainless steel appliances, white cabinets and Carrera Massa marble counters. A small deck off the great room provides space for an outdoor grill. Two skylights, recessed lighting and a handsome dining chandelier add to the ambiance of this generously proportioned room.
A tasteful blend of Carrera Massa marble, subway and mosaic stone tiles appoint the three full baths. Radiant heating in the floors of the baths provides extra comfort. The master suite includes a walk-in closet, a serene and generous ensuite bath with dual sinks and shower, plus a deck directly accessible from the suite. An additional bedroom is found on the main floor, served by the hall bath with shower over tub.
The entry foyer of the home can be accessed either from the front porch or directly from the garage. Ground floor rooms include a family room and third bedroom with den/office. These rooms open onto a large deck and garden beyond. A full bath is ensuite to the bedroom and also opens to the hall. The beautifully landscaped and long rear garden includes an irrigation system for its trees, shrubbery and herbal plantings that surrounding a central pebbled seating area. It is pet friendly and low maintenance!
The home’s location at 26th and Fulton is across from a foot path into Golden Gate Park and a block from the 25th Avenue auto entrance to the Park. Golden Gate Park is the greatest treasure among the San Francisco parks and offers a myriad of outdoor, athletic and cultural venues for all ages.
