231 Upper Terrace

Behind a charming shingled facade atop Buena Vista Heights, this beautifully renovated 1911 Craftsman opens to light-filled interiors, sweeping city views and an exceptional collection of outdoor spaces. Thoughtfully curated by its landscape architect owner, the terraces and tiered gardens form a series of outdoor rooms, each designed to make the hillside setting a beautiful and usable extension of the home. On the main level, white oak floors, paneled columns and a coffered ceiling frame an airy living room centered on a fireplace. Tall bay windows capture views across San Francisco's hillside neighborhoods. The open kitchen pairs softly toned cabinetry and brass hardware with an oak island, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Beside the dining area, French doors open to a generous terrace with room for both dining and lounging- a natural gathering place above the city. The top-floor primary suite combines a vaulted, beamed ceiling with a bay-window seat overlooking the rooftops and hills beyond. French doors lead to an adjoining view terrace, creating an intimate setting for morning coffee or an evening outdoors. A spacious walk-in closet and a bath with a striking marble-slab shower and oak double vanity complete the retreat. Nearby, a skylit deep-green lounge offers a distinctive space for reading and unwinding. Downstairs, a flexible bedroom with built-in cabinetry, a wet bar and a full bath opens to a covered terrace. Beyond, the owner's landscape expertise unfolds in richly layered plantings, thoughtfully arranged gathering spaces and stone pathways connecting the garden's tiers. A garden deck welcomes relaxed afternoons, while an intimate stone sitting area nestled in greenery evokes the atmosphere of a secret garden. Together, these carefully composed spaces invite dining, conversation and quiet moments throughout the grounds. With Buena Vista Park nearby and views that draw the city into daily life, 231 Upper Terrace offers a compelling combination of Craftsman character, beautifully considered interiors and outdoor living shaped by a landscape architect's eye.
