AMAZING SECLUDED AND SECURE GARDEN ATOP TELEGRAPH HILL WITH VIEWS OF THREE BRIDGES AND CITY. MAIN HOUSE AND GUEST HOUSE AND TWO CAR PARKING.This property is a thru lot between Chestnut and Whiting on the top of Telegraph Hill with City and Bay views from the Golden Gate Bridge to east of Alcatraz from the main and second floor and roof cupola and deck and even also to the Bay Bridge to the east from the roof deck. There is a north and south garden and between sits the main three story house. While there are entries from both streets, the preferred entry is from Whiting Street due to the lack of stairs and the fact that the garage is also on Whiting. The separate garage structure also has a two level guest or housekeeper s unit with its own kitchen and bath facilities. There are a total of up to five bedrooms and four full bathrooms. The main level of the house contains spacious, joined living and dining rooms with a well appointed kitchen and access to both gardens occupying the entire floor. The upper level contains two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, with an alcove study in between. The master bedroom has a large adjacent south facing deck looking over the south garden. The north facing bedroom has Bay views. The lower level or basement has a large room suitable as a playroom or bedroom with north and east clerestory windows, plus a full bath, the laundry, wine cellar and lots of storage. The house has a central heating and a vacuuming system (the latter also extends to the guest house and garage). The kitchen has all the usual appliances and is very sunny, stretching along and looking over the south garden. The south garden is large and suitable for parties, lined with hedges and espaliered fruit trees. The north garden is a more formal terraced and landscaped garden with Bay views. The roof has a cupola with expansive views for indoor entertaining and a large adjacent roof deck for outdoor fun and entertaining, with expansive views, including both bridges, and nice furniture. Entrances are available from both the dead-end street to the south which leads to the garage where access is easiest both on foot and by car and from the north where a gate and stair leads up to the north garden and then in. It is usually closed for better security. The south garden is fully gated for privacy and security. The entire property is exceedingly quiet due to the lack of any traffic on the two dead-end streets and the expanse of gardens; neighboring houses are fairly removed. A separate building on the south houses the two car garage and a two-level apartment containing a bed alcove, living room and kitchen and bath on the upper level and a study/library or spare bedroom on the lower level, both levels being connected by an interior spiral stair. Each level is also separately accessible from the south garden if desired to use each level separately and to close off the spiral stair. Both levels look over the south garden and the upper level also overlooks Whiting Street. The two car, side by side garage has direct access through glass doors to the south garden for easy in and out access and there is a separate door of course to the street for visitors with speakerphone and opening device. This house is becoming available for the first time in four years. It is available for a lease of two years. The owner will show it by appointment after proper notice to the tenants. Tenant pays utilities and trash; landlord pays gardener and alarm & security service
