140 32nd Ave

This superb 1914 home in Sea Cliff epitomizes elegance. The house is composed of four floors of classic period details combined with high-end remodeling for both formal entertaining and refined casual living.

The main floor’s formal living room features a large picture window and fireplace. The polished formal dining room, with a fireplace and built-ins, looks out through glass doors over a graceful Juliet balcony of splendid ornamental iron work. A fully remodeled chef’s kitchen is the height of simple sophistication in white, with marble countertops, a large island, glass pocket doors, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking range, and Miele oven and dishwasher. There is also a powder room on this level.

A contemporary glass-paneled staircase connects the home’s multiple floors. Up from the main floor are three bedrooms and two full baths. The luxurious master features three

sets of French doors and another Juliet balcony, looking east with sweeping views of the city all the way to Downtown and the Financial District. The baths have been stylishly upgraded with marble, glass showers, and a soaking tub in the master.

The top floor is an impressive modern pent room—a perfect den or entertaining space—flanked by walls of windows and two sizable roof decks. The east roof deck looks out over the city to Downtown and the Financial District, the Presidio, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Baker Beach. The west roof deck has views of Lincoln Park Golf Course the cypress trees of Lands End.

On the lowest floor is a spacious bedroom with built-ins, a bath, a kitchenette, two additional multi-purpose rooms and closets, laundry room, and a mud room that leads to the garage repurposed as an open-air studio combined with a lovely, serene garden.
