Property details

About 956 S Van Ness Ave

956 SVN is a historic grand Italianate Victorian built in 1872 by noted architect Edward Leodore Mayberry. During an extensive 2-year restoration/renovation in 2017, a thoughtful commitment was made to honor its history & artistic accents while upgrading the interior for modern living & a full upgrade in systems including the foundation, electrical, & plumbing. This is a truly unique home, unlike any other on the market -- where high design meets functionality and quintessential San Francisco living. The main level is an entertainers dream with grand rooms (all w/soaring ceilings), a chefs kitchen, and a sun-filled walkout garden. Up the original preserved staircase are 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a large developed attic (w/ full bath) offering space for a rec room, media room, or guest bedroom. The lower level was completely built out for additional living space w/ a full bath and bedroom (or a future unit with plumbing for a small kitchen). Additional features of this spectacular, fully-detached home include a 2 car side-by-side garage, an 800-bottle wine room, 2 laundry rooms, & abundant storage throughout. Show to your discerning buyers who are tired of the cookie-cutter remodels!
