EXEMPLARY LIVING IN LIBERTY HILL 376 SAN CARLOS STREET | 2-UNIT BUILDING | $3,250,000
Dirk Kinely & Justin Fichelson
Located along a tree-lined street in the historic Liberty Hill district yet near the energetic urban environment of the Mission’s Valencia Corridor, this vacant and legal 2-unit building is perfect for a multitude of home owners looking for that ultimate modern home. The Victorian facade is matched by a thoroughly contemporary interior designed by local architects and developers using the latest technology and green building features. Renovated this year, this home has been meticulously restored to showcase original features while designed for today’s living. The main home is a two-story home featuring soaring ceilings, media and family areas, and four bedrooms. Below is a legal 1-bedroom apartment that can be used as private guest quarters, an au pair space, an office, or an apartment for the in-laws. In all its grandeur, the parlor floor is equipped for entertaining and relaxation alike. The grand living room flows to the formal dining room which opens to a kitchen and casual dining area. In the back is a large enclosed room with a full bathroom and closet that can serve as either a first floor master bedroom or a family room. Beautiful grey oak plank floors, tall ceilings, and 8-foot-high white oak doors give the house an open and spacious feel. Impeccable craftsmanship and custom lighting are upgrades to the home. The chef’s kitchen features a Viking 6-burner range, a 42-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, a beverage center, and beautiful and durable Neolith engineered-stone counters. The large waterfall island provides a prep sink as well as ample counter space. A full-service pantry provides additional storage plus a two-zone wine cooler and bar area. The kitchen is open to the light-filled family room and the family dining area. The tranquil outdoor area features areas for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. The outdoor fire pit and lushly planted garden offer a perfect area of solitude. A step-down paved area offers a second means of egress for the downstairs apartment. VANTAGE MAGAZINE / 4

The main floor also features a half bathroom.
With the light rail stop a half a block away and direct access to the Bay Bridge, Highways 101/280, BART, and Caltrain, this home is the ultimate in convenience whether commuting downtown, to the East Bay, or to the Peninsula.

Heath Ceramics just opened a store, gallery, and factory that makes the most beautiful products and sells Blue Bottle coffee on site!
With people lining up on weekend mornings, Tartine Bakery is more than a neighborhood bakery and cafe, it is a special event. Amazing crossants filled with chocolate or gruyere are always a good bet. The banana creme tart is a must-try.
