Potrero Hill House
Property Description :
This spacious, three-story, architect-designed, elegantly-furnished house is my private home when i'm not traveling. It sits high on the north slope of potrero hill, in the heart of san francisco -- and is the perfect short-term residence for professionals, corporate executives, or vacationers. there are sweeping views of downtown san francisco and the bay from my living room, kitchen, both bedrooms, and from the balconies off the living room and master bedroom (i was standing on the master bedroom balcony when i took the panoramic photo). the living room has a dramatic marble fireplace, an award-winning staircase, antique japanese furniture, original art and sculpture, a steinway grand piano, and a soaring cathedral ceiling with sunlight streaming through the two double french doors, the huge skylight, and the many windows. the master bedroom suite, a private sanctuary that occupies the entire third floor, has a "window wall" framing a magnificent view of downtown san francisco and the bay bridge (see photo), a sitting area with tv/vcr/stereo, its own fireplace, antique japanese tansu chests, a balcony, a separate dressing room, a japanese-inspired bath, and a private redwood deck that floats among the bamboo and japanese maples in my rear garden. the second bedroom is smaller but equally elegant with a queen bed, japanese tansu chest, cable television, and its own large bathroom. There is also a leather couch in the living room which opens into a comfortable queen-size sofa bed. as you have probably already gathered, i am rather fond of my house; but my opinion is shared by others. Previous guests have said "it is like staying in a miniature museum", "an architectural gem!", "one of the most beautiful houses i have ever seen", "incredibly peaceful, a wonderful place to relax". A real estate professional who stayed for two weeks said, in his review on one web site, "i have rented many houses in various locations throughout the years. Bill's house was the best ever." while i appreciate the compliments, the point is that my house is more than just a place to store your suitcase while you are visiting san francisco. It will be part of the experience itself. if you or a member of your family plays the piano, there is a steinway grand in the living room. If you are a history buff or armchair explorer, i have one of california's finest private collections of books on alaska and russian america. If you are more into literature, i have a
