What's around 2 6th Avenue

About this property

A once-in-a-generation opportunity in an extraordinary San Francisco setting. Built in 1914 and set on a coveted cul-de-sac north of Lake Street, 2 Sixth Avenue is a rare convergence of architecture, landscape, and place - a private retreat at the edge of the Presidio. Fully detached and set on an extraordinary 9,233 sq. ft. lot directly abutting the Presidio National Park, the residence is a beautiful expression of San Francisco's First Bay Tradition. Rooted in natural materials, craftsmanship, restrained ornamentation, and a close relationship between architecture and landscape, the house feels uniquely at home in its remarkable setting. Mature front and rear gardens envelop the property in greenery, while verdant outlooks extend into the Presidio and golf course. Windows, French doors, terraces, and direct garden access blur the boundary between indoors and out. Inside, original redwood trim, wood floors, and beautifully preserved architectural details establish a rich material character. Ornamentation is restrained and proportions are generous, creating rooms that feel substantial without formality. Both the expansive living room and formal dining room are anchored by wood-burning fireplaces. Windows bring softness and natural light into the rooms, reinforcing the generous scale and inviting character. The dining room's French doors open to a terrace, creating a natural setting for relaxing with family and friends. Lined with bookshelves and views of the Presidio and golf course, the library is an inviting place to read, work, or retreat. The kitchen is the heart of the house expansive yet remarkably warm, filled with daylight and designed around the rhythms of everyday life-cooking, dining, and conversation. Abundant cabinetry and adjoining butler's pantry provide generous workspace and storage. French doors open to the private patio and rear garden. A handsome redwood staircase leads to the upper level's four bedrooms and secluded porch. The primary suite is generous in scale and serene in character, with leafy outlooks toward both the Presidio and rear garden. The suite includes a bath, three closets, and an extraordinary dressing room-originally a bedroom and now beautifully fitted with walls of closets and built-in cabinetry. Three additional bedrooms offer flexible accommodations, including one with an ensuite bath and another with a half bath. And, there is a 2-car side-by-side garage with +5 driveway spaces.
