On a peaceful Outer Richmond Slow Street, this meticulously renovated Spanish Colonial Revival balances historic charm with modern luxury. The living room pairs classic wainscoting with a bay window overlooking lush greenery, while a sun-drenched dining area flows into a chef’s kitchen finished with stone surfaces, custom cabinetry, and premium Zline and Bosch appliances. Two en-suite bedrooms anchor the main level; the larger adds radiant floors, dual closets—including a walk-in with workspace—plus a luxurious bath and direct garden access, with a powder room nearby. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms join a practical mudroom and laundry room, alongside a garden suite with heated floors and smart amenities. Outside, mature plantings, redwood decking, a fire feature, and an outdoor kitchen create a serene retreat, complemented by an upgraded epoxied garage with EV charging and convenient transit access.

In the heart of Santana Row, this fully reimagined residence in the coveted DeForest Building pairs timeless design with modern luxury in one of the community’s largest two-bedroom floor plans. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows amplify the sense of scale, while Duchateau herringbone wood floors bring warmth and polish. Unlike a loft layout, the design feels notably private and functional. The chef’s kitchen is finished in Calacatta Arabescato marble with a waterfall island, Fisher & Paykel appliances, an integrated paneled refrigerator, and a spacious pantry. Upstairs, both bedrooms feature private ensuite baths; the expansive primary suite adds spa-inspired finishes, generous closet space, and room for a dedicated sitting area. A rare ~750-square-foot private terrace invites dining, lounging, and entertaining. Secure building access and two dedicated parking spaces support an easy lock-and-leave rhythm, steps from dining, shopping, and nightlife.
