In the early 1920s when Sea Cliff began to take shape, it was something of a fantasyland with broad streets, large front yards, and an eclectic mix of residential styles, borrowing architectural elements from across the nation and around the world.

The property now for sale at 55 26th Avenue displays a stately East Coast sensibility, with its exterior entry porch framed by two grand columns.

The large, inviting home with views of the ocean and Golden Gate Bridge features a gracious entry foyer with a beautiful staircase. On four levels, there are six bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a den with a fireplace, and an office/media room. The master bedroom has an ocean view, large closet suite, and two baths. An expansive, updated kitchen with high-end appliances is adjacent to the sunny breakfast and family rooms.

This spacious home has a grand formal dining room and an elegant living room with period details, crown moldings, fireplace, and direct access to the garden through French doors. The finished basement is perfect as a recreation room. The landscaped grounds feature a lovely private garden patio with fruit trees, deck, and a charming detached one-bedroom, one-bath cottage for visitors or an au pair.

The Sea Cliff neighborhood has always been home to some of the City’s most extraordinary properties. It’s an enchanting location, situated as if it is on the edge of the sea, in one of the world’s most magical cities.
