Bordered by The Presidio and the Pacific, 1751 Lake Street was created in 2001 and lavished with a full cosmetic renovation completed this year. Within its palatial Neo Italianate exterior flows a home designed for today’s living, its open indoor/outdoor floor plan enhanced by classic architectural details and a profusion of light.

Beyond the dramatic street level entry, a spacious casual room enjoys direct access to the garden. A wet bar, ample storage and built-in wine cooler complement easy gatherings. A half bathroom, a full bedroom suite ideal for guests, and a two-car, side-by-side garage with electric car charger and interior home access complete this level.

The second floor, the centerpiece of the home, is an array of expansive, open rooms for gathering and entertaining. At its heart is a new kitchen equipped for entertaining on any scale, with Thermador professional appliances, vast counter and storage space, and a large center island with bar seating. The kitchen flows into a great room with eat-in breakfast area opening directly to an outdoor dining terrace. A large formal dining room, oversized living room with fireplace, and half bath complete this level.

The stairway to the upper levels is bathed in light from a windowed atrium over a shimmering chandelier. The third level houses four bedrooms, including a primary suite with curving walls of windows, a balcony off another bedroom, two full baths, a walk-in laundry center and a linen closet.

On the top floor is the pièce de résistance: a wraparound deck with views that sweep to the Presidio, North Bay and downtown to Cole Valley and Lone Mountain. Its path encircles a generous bedroom suite and a den/library with fireplace.

The home’s prime location is near Mountain Lake Park, Presidio Golf Course, Clement Street restaurants and shops, and the endless walking trails and natural splendor of Presidio National Park.

Listed by Lisa Wolfe at $6,850,000, this unparalleled San Francisco property is refined living, made for today.
