Own a San Francisco Gem
First time on the market in over 70 years. This large, stately Edwardian sits proudly atop Willard Street, with sweeping views that look out at nearby Cole Valley beyond the San Francisco skyline and at night, a full moonrise over the East Bay hills. Built in 1904 and lovingly held by one family for generations, this gracious home is steeped in history, architectural beauty, and timeless charm—and is now ready for its next chapter.
Overflowing with character, the home showcases exquisite period details, including rich wood paneling, coved ceilings, built-in cabinetry, and a charming tiled fireplace. The grand foyer leads to a light-filled living room anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace, creating an inviting space for gatherings. The formal dining room—featuring a decorative fireplace, original built-ins, and captivating outlooks—flows into a spacious eat-in kitchen, with both rooms opening onto a sun-drenched rear deck.
Upstairs, the flexible floor plan includes three generously sized bedrooms, a smaller fourth bedroom—perfect for a home office or nursery—and two bathrooms. Downstairs, additional rooms with views and good ceiling height offer exciting expansion potential.
While largely in original condition, the home presents a rare opportunity for thoughtful restoration and customization. Key updates include a newer roof (2019) and upgraded electrical system (2025), providing a solid foundation for future improvements.
Located just minutes from Cole Valley, UCSF, MUNI, and the Mt. Sutro Open Space Reserve, this home offers peaceful, elevated living with unbeatable city convenience.
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore and reimagine a true San Francisco classic.
