Description

Best Midtown Terrace location, Mid-Century Modern Architecture, fully detached + large street to street lot. Exceptional views through exceptionally large windows, desirable open floor plan, dreamy wood-burning fireplace, solid oak hardwood floors, ideal gourmet kitchen, two car side-by-side parking and ideal storage space. Excellent opportunity to expand the downstairs area although the home is already spacious. The neighborhood features mid-century modern homes arranged in rows on terraced streets, surrounded by greenbelts, forests, reservoirs, and open space including pretty amazing hiking and biking trails. The land occupied by Midtown Terrace (approximately 150 acres) was once part of Rancho San Miguel, a large 4,400-acre parcel originally granted in 1846 to Don Jose de Jesus Noe, the first mayor of Yerba Buena (the pre-cursor to San Francisco). The land then changed hands several times, with ownership eventually being acquired by Adolph Sutro, a prominent engineer and developer and a San Francisco mayor from 1894 to 1896. To transform its "bleak" appearance, Adolph Sutro had eucalyptus trees planted on a significant portion of his property, which eventually became Sutro Forest. Midtown Terrace is a rather central San Francisco location.
