Perched on the east side of Twin Peaks, with sweeping views that include the Downtown San Francisco and Oakland Skylines, the Bay Bridge, Bay, and even the summit of Mt. Diablo peaking over the East Bay Hills, this lovingly remodeled 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home enjoys a host of amenities that make it a one-of-a-kind urban oasis.
Discover the inner peace and joy of tending to your own terraced vineyard, along hand-carved paths, and hand-laid stone walls; or better yet, to simply admire your urban vineyard, while basking in the sun, and taking in the speculator city and bay views from your walkout veranda, or master bedroom. Like a lighthouse beckoning you to your own quiet harbor, this magical retreat is anchored to its large (4,129 square foot) lot by a centuries old evergreen, towering up toward the sky. If you have ever traveled to some of Europe’s famed hillside towns and villages (or simply dreamed of doing so), then this home will surely represent San Francisco’s own version of that timeless and enduring sense of place.
The charm and beauty of the home and gardens, extends out beyond the property boundaries, to the serene village feel that surrounds it; whether on Villa Terrace, or the nearby gardens of the Pemberton Steps. If you enjoy strolling to your favorite neighborhood coffee shops, and restaurants, and are looking for your own enduring getaway in San Francisco, then please take a look at this very special home.
Laid out over three levels, with direct and separate outdoor access from each level, two walk-out verandas, eight total rooms, abundant storage, a versatile floor plan that suits virtually any lifestyle, and three car off-street parking, 20 Villa Terrace is a home like no other.
Neighborhood
Clarendon Heights
In the central part of San Francisco, north of Twin Peaks and east of Mount Sutro, lies Clarendon Heights. Boasting incredible views of both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Clarendon Heights is also home to a wide spectrum of architecture. Tudors and villas blend comfortably with sleek modern homes in a neighborhood that's very well kept. Some of San Francisco's famous hills also reside here; no need for a health club membership. Just take a brisk walk around the neighborhood, use some of the convenient hillside stairs, and enjoy the views. Primarily a residential community, its hills presented a challenge to builders, but the opportunities for views inspired them to persevere. Many of the original dwellings still remain, giving the area an eclectic feel.
