3011 Van Ness Avenue

Jet back to 1927, with martinis, spectacular historic details, and beautiful 360-degree views of San Francisco. Built for Mr. & Mrs. A. Pessano, by architect Paul J. Capurro, using the highest standards and quality materials to evoke the old world. Marble walls and steps, Cordova terra cotta and Muresque tiles, clear quarter-sawn oak basket-weave pattern floors with two-line mahogany borders, and Southern gum on the wainscoting, trims, and moldings. The exterior is redwood, and the foundations are bolted Golden Gate cement per the original specifications in the architect's contract. But the 3-4 bedroom / 2.5 bath also has been given elegant 21st Century touches, including a newly renovated penthouse (grandfathered to a 1929 permit) with panoramic balcony and incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Sutro Tower, along with a 4k projector, custom screen, and custom lighting; a new 370 sq ft roof deck with Galanter & Jones heated furniture for 7; recently replaced Fisher & Paykel, Bosch, and Moen kitchen appliances; and a newly built, separate entrance bedroom/office/au pair room. Absolutely one-of-a-kind.
