About the home:
Warm minimalism meets timeless European design in this stunning Cole Valley residence. Conceived and built by CMA Development and MKD+D, it demonstrates masterful craftsmanship and precision construction. Situated on a tree-lined block of Carmel street between Cole and Belvedere streets, this view home is a close walk to downtown Cole Valley and amenities. The 5314 +/- sq ft residence features four entertaining spaces, four en-suite bedrooms, walk-in closets and three half baths. The extra deep and wide floor plates create an amazing sense of scale and a flexible layout seldom seen in San Francisco homes. An ultra high level of construction and artisan craftsmanship define this modern home, capturing the essence of fine European quality, design and craftsmanship. An oversized deep lot and the home’s glass walls allow for seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces on all levels. A serene and private garden with 3 terraces and amazing views create a perfect sense of balance.
The stunning entrance foyer features a Panoramah pivot door and Boffi/Alpi cabinetry. Large format honed stone tile leads one down the hallway to the full width media room with built in media wall, Boffi wet bar and Belgian magnetic track lighting. A glass office/flex room, powder room and two large storage closets complete this level.
The second floor living level features a nearly 80’ deep full width floor plate that opens directly onto the large garden. Ultra wide plank clear grade european oak with a white oil treatment and lime washed walls create a highly elegant and harmonious expression of warmth and minimalism. The Boffi kitchen imported from Italy features natural stone counters with integrated sinks, PITT integrated burners, seating for four and an abundance of built-ins. Gaggenau appliances, a large walk in pantry, and wine storage room complete the package. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large dining room with lighting from Davide Groppi. The hydronic radiant heating system below the flooring, in connection with hidden temperature controls, provides unparalleled comfort. Sliding glass walls that extend beyond the ceiling allow for seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces. The European magnetic flush with the wall door systems provide uninterrupted transitions and acoustical sound deadening. Soaring ceilings on all levels set the precedence for amazing scale and proportions throughout the home. Trimless and flush details abound, including shadowline architectural reveals on floors/ceilings/walls and lighting.
An architectural folded steel staircase guides you to the third level where you find 3 en-suite bedrooms with Boffi spa-like bathrooms. The principle suite features a stunning bathroom with a large shower stall, water closet, and freestanding bathtub. There is an oversized walk-in dressing room with built-ins and an abundance of storage. A walk-in laundry room completes this level.
Ascending to the pent room level you are showered with natural light from the expansive skylights and walls of glass. A generous bedroom suite features a Boffi bathroom, walk-in closet and south facing walk out terrace. The front of this level opens to a terrace with Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands / water views. There is a large living room, powder room and a Boffi wet bar with a Miele refrigerator / dishwasher and open shelving.
The private rear garden flows directly off the living space. It features mature plants, a large lounge area with natural gas hookup for a firepit, a separate dining area, irrigation and LED lighting. The extra deep lot seamlessly flows into Tank Hill and features scenic outlooks and no rear neighbors.
