Perfection on San Luis!

In 2008 the owners of 833 San Luis searched for a new home. They moved from a more suburban location, where the homes were similar and lacked any distinctive architecture or character. When they saw 833 San Luis they were smitten! The home offered everything on their wish list and more; 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, character, beautiful architectural details, a primary suite, a large backyard, and a view. They were elated! They couldn’t believe all these elements were available in one home. Now, 15 years later, a new owner will be able to enjoy this special and rare home.

Extensively remodeled in 2006, this traditional, custom home is on a special tree-lined street amongst many distinctive homes. 833 San Luis is light-filled, and offers glorious Bay views, a touch of elegance, and a feeling of warmth and comfort. The generously-sized rooms are perfectly proportioned, the original architectural details are seamlessly integrated into updated systems and electronics throughout, and the flexible floor plan, with a large lower level with separate entrance and internal access, offers numerous options, including a guest suite, possible au pair*, or private retreat.
