ust at the edge of a frenzied, bustling city lies a remarkable sanctuary of ocean waves and tall trees: The Richmond District. Only minutes from Downtown, it is a place apart: a domain of beaches, parks and quiet urbanity with a touch of wildness.This three bedroom, three bathroom home is at the edge of Golden Gate Park, just blocks from the Pacific shoreline. The house is spacious, offering room to breathe the healing ocean air. And it's charming, a quintessential San Francisco Edwardian – with a twist. The home was built by artisans at a time when details mattered: cove ceilings, rare gumwood molding and wainscoting. Modern updates use elegant materials: granite in the kitchen: bamboo flooring downstairs; aluminum, steel and glass tiles on the backyard deck. The backyard -- by Zen Design & Construction – is, quite literally, a gem. A path of glass pebbles sparkles. A luxuriant Norfolk Island Pine, unlike any you've seen, guards the tranquil space where grasses and bamboo move to the ocean breeze. With a nod to the aesthetic of the East, it's a place where minds can clear.842 43rd Avenue, between the sea and skyscrapers, and near two famous parks (Golden Gate and the Presidio), offers urban tranquility and a lifestyle that few other homes can.
