Set directly on Buena Vista Park with sweeping southern views stretching from the Bay waters to Corona Heights Park and across to Eureka Valley, 447 Buena Vista Ave East is a fully reimagined 1908 Edwardian residence that seamlessly blends historic architecture with striking contemporary design. Extensively renovated in 2023 by local acclaimed designer and decorative artist Willem Racke, known for his refined artisanal finishes and work, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms across a dramatic, light-filled floor plan. The main level is anchored by an expansive great room framed by oversized Fleetwood windows that capture panoramic outlooks and opens directly to a view terrace. Venetian plaster walls and ceilings add warmth and texture throughout, while custom built-ins, integrated sound, and refined designer finishes create a home that feels both sophisticated and livable. A separate living room, family room, and built-in dining banquette allow for comfortable everyday living as well as large-scale entertaining. The kitchen features a full suite of Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in coffeemaker, along with marble countertops and a wine refrigerator. The upper-level primary suite enjoys expansive park and city views, a large private terrace, dual closets, and a spa-like bathroom with heated Terrazzo floors, heated towel rack, dual vanity, walk-in shower, and its own laundry area. The lower level has a private entrance that opens to an en-suite bedroom and family room with access to the manicured garden. Additional features include air conditioning on the upper bedroom level, solar panels, Nest thermostats, electric window coverings, two laundry areas, and a one-car garage with storage. Set directly across from Buena Vista Park, 447 Buena Vista Ave East enjoys one of San Francisco's most unique and coveted settings, surrounded by greenery, panoramic views, and walking trails, yet remarkably central to some of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. Morning walks through Buena Vista Park and nearby Corona Heights Park offer a rare connection to nature in the heart of San Francisco, with scenic overlooks, winding paths, and sweeping views stretching across the city and Bay.
