DESCRIPTION: Located in Russian Hill 2434 Leavenworth is nestled among some of the most lovely traditional homes in the area. Very private this enchanting Victorian was built in 1890. Ideally located this lovely residence is close to many San Francisco landmarks including Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, North Beach and Lombard (the crooked street).

The interior is glorious with many of the original features still intact. As you enter the main exterior entrance one cannot help notice the massive double front and adjacent heavy storm doors on either side of the entrances. The traditional exterior is impressive with the Victorian casework so elegantly constructed for its time. As you enter the home the high ceilings, grand staircase, elegant wainscoting, and impressive moldings captivate your eyes. The front of the home has the GRAND DOUBLE PARLOR with bay windows. The fireplaces in each room are works of art with the original tile work and wood frame depicting scenes of yesteryear. The fireplace in the second room of the double parlor is flanked by bookcases on either side.

Further down the hall is a grand and spacious DINING ROOM, again adorned by the elegant fireplace with tile work, high ceilings and large bay windows. The main rooms are truly an architects dream displaying all of the glorious amenities of structural Victorian features. The rooms are masterful and impressive. The KITCHEN and BREAKFAST ROOM are in the rear of the house. There is an area for pantry and washer, dryer as well. There is a half bath located off the main hall.

The THIRD BEDROOM is currently used as a DEN/LIBRARY and includes a fireplace. There are views out the rear of the property of Alcatraz, the Bay, North Beach and the beautiful city-scape.
