Presidio View Home on The Wall
on the presidio wall at the western edge of pacific heights, 3140 pacific occupies one of san francisco′s most coveted locations - steps from the trails, forests, and open meadows of the golden gate national recreation area, and four blocks from the boutiques, cafes, and restaurants along sacramento street. the home′s enviable aspect enables one to wake with the eastern sun and retire with the sunset, all the while enveloped in a canopy of green at the edge of the presidio forest. conceived by architect sandy walker and realized by ryan associates, the comprehensive transformation of this 1926 residence represents a rare synthesis of storied provenance and present-day luxury. curated materials and exacting craftsmanship honor the home′s original character: soaring coffered ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and room proportions of exceptional scale. the grand living room commands sweeping forest views through tall windows - with a glimpse of the bay beyond - centered on a fireplace with a carved antique mantel with marble hearth and surround. across the room, a library alcove with leaded glass windows makes a charming reading area. french doors open to the forest view deck. the formal dining room (shown as a family room) opens on two sides with french doors, flooding the space with light and the tranquil sound of the entry fountains. the chef′s kitchen is appointed with professional-grade appliances, statuario marble slab counters, a generous center island, and a sun-filled banquette perfect for informal dining. the primary suite offers soaring cathedral ceilings, a double-height window framing presidio and partial golden gate views, a delft-tiled fireplace, and a spacious walkout terrace. the en suite marble bath has double sinks, a soaking tub, and steam shower. two additional en suite bedrooms complete the second level. the lower level offers a media room, wine storage, a fourth bedroom (legality of calling it a bedroom is not warranted) with forest views and en suite bath, laundry, a private office with separate street entrance, and direct access to the garage. newly refreshed by green couch, 3140 pacific is a rare, move-in ready offering.
