SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 14, 2013) - Award-winning designers, Zack de Vito Architecture, have created two inspired San Francisco residences, this time on the most desirable block of Dolores Park. The prime position at the top of the park affords an overlook of this amazing urban open space, with vistas to its dramatic sweep of lawn and glimpses of the amazing city skyline beyond. The first open house will be Sunday, September 15, from 2 until 5 p.m.
Nowhere in San Francisco have the economic forces of the technology industry, international investors and aspiring urban dwellers converged in the way that they have in the historic neighborhoods surrounding Mission Dolores. Long influenced by the ease of access to the peninsula, the area has experienced an influx of investors and residents who are contributing to the rich cultural fabric of the community. The area hosts the most creative spectrum of arts, entertainment and shopping available anywhere in the City.
Located at the south edge of the original Mission settlement, Dolores Park serves as the epicenter of the urban neighborhoods that surround the park: the culturally diverse communities of the Castro, the Inner Mission and Noe Valley. The park is now a destination that has surpassed the San Francisco waterfront as a gathering space for urban dwellers seeking not only the best micro-climate of the city, but the diversity of services and culture that are just steps away.
Working with the strong bones of traditional 20's floor plans, the homes' designers have reconfigured the space for modern living. The kitchen has become the soul of the house in both flats: open to the gracious living and dining space and well-suited for entertaining. Detailed with abundant white oak cabinetry, professional series appliances and composite quartz counter-tops, the space includes abundant storage and work space plus a breakfast bar. Custom details incorporate a steel backsplash and industrial finishes that complement the more traditional details of the era.
The new kitchen location captures an extra room, which is perfectly suited as an office or guest bedroom while two additional bedrooms overlook the garden. The top flat now includes an expansive private roof deck that enjoys a panorama of the neighborhood. And the lower flat has expanded to the garden level with a wonderful master suite overlooking the private, enclosed south-facing garden. The combination of historic bones, modern finishes and sensitively-developed outdoor spaces has created two sensational residences.
