A Reimagined Edwardian Masterpiece in Dolores Heights

offered at $2,995,000

A Century-Old Story, Retold Above San Francisco

Commanding the block with a moody seal-gray presence, this 1912 Edwardian rises in Dolores Heights, one of San Francisco’s most coveted hillside enclaves. Long known for its leafy streets, cinematic views, and an unusual sense of privacy in the heart of the city.

architectural elegance meets modern luxury

The home itself offers a rare fusion of history, artistry, and modern luxury. Its newly refreshed façade features a whimsical Dutch Revival–inspired gable that softens the strong Edwardian symmetry, creating a silhouette that feels both classic and delightfully unexpected. Sunlight plays across the sculpted exterior throughout the day, highlighting a home that has stepped gracefully into its new era while honoring the charm of the one that came before.

Three Levels of Light, Craft, and Calm

Inside, the home unfolds across three expansive levels, each designed with grand scale and a sense of calm elegance. The grand entertaining floor is anchored by two fireplaces that define the full-width grand living room and dining room, wrapped in honed hardwood floors and natural light. The fully renovated entertainer's kitchen is a study in craftsmanship, showcasing a professional-grade Bosch appliance suite and a layout that balances culinary ambition with everyday livability.

Step outside to a lush garden patio designed for both celebration and comfort, complete with an outdoor kitchen, string lights and a convenient dog relief area that lets city life blend with tranquility.

Private Sanctuaries and Boutique-Style Baths

Upstairs, three serene bedrooms function as private sanctuaries, each shaped with thoughtful proportions, custom millwork closet systems, and timeless finishes. Every bathroom feels like a boutique hotel, featuring single-slab honed Viola marble vanities, imported tilework, and premium Grohe and Duravit fixtures. A flexible fourth bedroom on the main level adds versatility for guests, a media space, or an inspiring home office.

Open-concept kitchen and dining area with white walls, wood flooring, and large windows showing greenery outside. The kitchen has light wood cabinets, a white countertop, and stainless steel appliances. The dining table, surrounded by six cream-colored chairs, features a glass vase with a bouquet of flowers and a modern chandelier hanging above.

Smart Living with Soulful Design

Energy-conscious upgrades, including double-paned windows, dimmable Lutron LED lighting, Eero WiFi extenders, and Nest video doorbell & thermostat, ensure the home lives as smart as it looks.

Throughout every room, sweeping downtown or garden outlooks, architectural texture, and meticulous craftsmanship echo the home’s spirit of sophistication. And at every turn, the design feels cohesive, intentional, and imbued with artistry. This is not a renovation; it is a restoration of soul, scale, and character.

A Facade With History and Whimsy

Standing proudly on one of Dolores Heights’ most charming residential blocks, this 1912 Edwardian carries a playful twist that sets it apart from its neighbors. Its distinctive curved gable, inspired by early Dutch Revival design, adds a soft, storybook silhouette to the classic symmetry of its Edwardian roots. Paired bay windows, crisp vertical lines, and a gracefully framed entry reflect the city’s post-1906 building era, when craftsmanship met creativity and every home told its own tale.

A New Era in Seal Gray

Thoughtfully modernized and finished in a moody seal-gray exterior, the home steps confidently into the present while honoring the character that makes it unforgettable. The updated palette gives the façade a sculptural quality, amplifying its curves and angles as the light shifts throughout the day. It feels both timeless and fresh, like a long-loved classic ready for its second debut.

Where Past Meets Playfulness

This façade doesn’t simply face the street. It greets it. The whimsical gable, charming bays, and crisp modern colorwork come together like a remix of eras: historic bones, a hint of European flair, and a bold contemporary finish. It sets the tone for what waits inside—a home that balances heritage and imagination, confidence and warmth, and the unmistakable sense that you’ve arrived somewhere special.
