285 Sea Cliff Avenue, is prominently situated in San Francisco's Majestic Sea Cliff neighborhood.

Beautifully updated, this tranquil, contemporary home evokes the grandeur and beauty of mid-century Hollywood. Built in 1948, the combination of old world craftsmanship and modern living merge to create a masterpiece of design. The monumental scale of the rooms hark back to an enchanting time and reflect perfectly the thoughtful design that Sea Cliff is known for.  Sea Cliff, the master planned park-residence was designed by landscape architect Mark Daniels, who is known equally for his master plans of Carmel’s 17-mile drive, and the city of Bel-Air, California.

Entering the grand foyer of this exquisite home one is immediately impressed with the the scale and proportions of this meticulous residence. The gorgeous crown moulding and rich hardwood floors create a warm and sophisticated feel throughout. This park-like setting is appreciated throughout with the abundant natural light pouring in from all around. The sophisticated formal living room with one of three fireplaces in the home is simply enchanting. The spacious formal dining room with modern lighting opens onto a large sunny deck and significant, south-facing rear garden.

The spacious, west-facing chef’s kitchen includes a 6 burner Viking gas cooktop, built-in sub-zero refrigerator, and a window seat/banquette breakfast area, abundant cabinet space, plus, a built-in desk; all of which opens to a sunny deck and beautifully landscaped rear garden through the french doors, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Off the foyer is a charming sitting room which also leads to the kitchen and could easily double as a home office with its prominent location at the front corner of the house. On this floor are two generously sized, en suite bedrooms each with its own marble tiled bathroom, plus an adjacent powder room. Such smart design and layout!

Heading upstairs we are introduced to the impressive primary suite which encompasses the entire third floor. We enter this elegant setting through the glass paned french doors and immediately notice the views of the Pacific Ocean, the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate Bridge. This truly amazing space is complete with a gas fireplace, window seat, two extremely spacious ensuite bathrooms with double vanities, separate shower stall and deep soaking tub; plus, two beautifully designed boutique style private dressing rooms. What an amazing setting to relax and unwind at the end of the day. 

Flowing well with the rest of the house, yet having a separate entrance, the lower level of this remarkable residence continues to astound. Here we find a central game room complete with full wet bar outfitted with a stylish curved black granite countertop and ample seating, perfect for fun and entertaining in style. Mirroring the formal living room on the main level, the magnificent family room with a stunning Nero Marquina marble fireplace and built-in floor to ceiling walnut bookshelves creates a comfortable, yet spacious hangout. This level is also perfect for visiting guests, kids home from college, a separate home office or an au-pair, as it has an additional bedroom with huge walk-in closet and full bath. 

Rounding off this wonderful residence is a spacious 3- car garage with interior access, a laundry area and enormous storage rooms.
