About This Home
As of June 2022Owned by the same family for 53 years, this beautiful Spanish Revival style home, circa 1938, is reminiscent of times gone by. It has the grace and elegance of a custom designed home with almost every room in the having an unobstructed view of the bay and Golden Gate. The floor plan, like that of an old Spanish manor house, has separate sleeping wings for the master suite and children’s rooms on the upper floor. The entry level, filled with natural sunlight, has graciously proportioned rooms including a large formal entry hall, a guest 1/2 bath, formal living and dining rooms and a vintage kitchen with breakfast area. There is a full pantry with separate entrance and stairs down to a bedroom and full bath where there is also laundry and a wine cellar. Last but not least is a family room, with a fireplace and bay view at the bottom of the second set of stairs. Take a 3D tour of this home at 50AltaRoad.com.
