Set amid thriving trees and introduced by a multi-level landscaped terrace, this classic shingled residence recently underwent a meticulous renovation by the renowned Toronto-based firm Navigate Design, resulting in three levels of chic, light-filled living and entertaining space with handsome chevron-patterned white oak floors and incredible views of downtown. The open-plan living area features a DaVinci gas fireplace with an Italian Carrara marble surround, a superior Bang & Olufsen sound system, thoughtful white oak built-ins, and a bar with a Miele wine chiller. Nearby are a chef's kitchen with a full complement of premier Miele appliances and a dining area that opens to a delightful terrace ideal for grilling and alfresco dining. On the level above, the luxurious primary suite boasts an integrated Poliform bed and views that sweep across the city skyline to the bay. Its spa-like bath offers a rain shower, a soaking tub, Vola fixtures, and a towel warmer. Each of the two baths features a Toto Japanese toilet and Coem Italian tilework. A second bedroom enjoys a verdant outlook thanks to expanses of windows. The uppermost floor is dedicated to a versatile space—a third bedroom, media room, office, or entertaining space—accompanied by a stylish full bath and a terrace with a gas firepit and custom-upholstered seating. The aficionado will appreciate the home's 400-bottle wine cellar. The home also benefits from a one-car garage and seemingly every modern comfort and convenience, from motorized Lutron shades to radiant in-floor heating. This Parnassus Heights residence—the former home of Armistead Maupin, esteemed author of Tales of the City— is just like Maupin's fictional Barbary Lane, surrounded by mature trees, timeless style, and cinematic views of this one-of-a-kind city. Ideally tucked away in this secluded neighborhood near the restaurants and shops of Cole Valley, the trails on Mount Sutro, and iconic Golden Gate Park.
