About This Home

As of June 2025

Gracious and grounded with views of San Francisco, this 5-bedroom*, 2.5+*-bath home on the market for the first time in 56 years is a rare opportunity. A residence designed by Julia Morgan, California’s first licensed woman architect and an icon of timeless craftsmanship, with 2,380 square feet of interior space on a 4,960 square foot lot, the home balances architectural integrity with everyday livability—and now awaits a thoughtful revival to restore its original brilliance. Morgan’s signature touch is unmistakable—from the redwood built-ins and leaded glass details to the custom bay and box windows that draw in natural light and frame serene outlooks. The formal yet flowing floor plan creates a refined rhythm, perfect for both quiet moments and convivial gatherings. Outdoors, the property unfolds into an established and generous garden landscape, alive with native plants, culinary and ornamental herbs, and a rich variety of fruit trees. Among its offerings: three kinds of apples, two types of lemons, avocado, persimmon, kumquat, pineapple guava, and orange—along with jasmine, rosemary, sage, and more. This is a garden that feeds more than just the table; it nourishes a way of life. *Bed/bath count differs. Buyer to investigate.
