OVERVIEW

Open houses 1-4 PM on Sunday 9/12, Saturday 9/18 and Sunday 9/19. 

This Potrero Hill single-family home makes the very most of the neighborhood’s famously comfortable microclimate. In the back, a sunroom, deck, and dramatically terraced backyard provide an easy and inviting way to enjoy the fresh air. Prominent east-facing bay windows in front draw ample natural light into the home while providing views over the city to the Bay Bridge. While the home has benefitted from considerable updates, the living room maintains the charm of the original 1934 construction. Coved ceilings above the crown moldings add another dimension of luminous height. But the focal point of this room is undoubtedly the prominent brick hearth topped with a broad, wooden mantlepiece. With its sturdy lines and colorful accent tiles, it grounds the room with an element of craftsman style.  

A broad doorway offers access to the dining room, a space that feels wonderfully centered owing to the inlaid borders of the hardwood floor, as well as the coved ceilings and chandelier. On the other side of the dining room is the chef’s kitchen, modernized with underfloor radiant heating, professional-grade appliances in stainless steel, the bright, even illumination of recessed lighting, and sleek painted glass backsplashes. But it also exudes a sense of warmth, thanks to the dark wood custom cabinetry. Extensive counters in boldly veined stone lead past a Wolf double oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a Wolf 6-burner gas range and hood. The back end of the kitchen features a wet bar with an under-counter Sub-Zero wine fridge and a second bar sink, as well as bar seating for two in a bright and pleasant breakfast nook. Immediately beyond that seating area, glass sliding doors lead to a deck that will make al fresco meals irresistible. 

Located at the rear of the home, the primary bedroom enjoys considerable peace and quiet. A walk-in closet with custom shelving allows you to keep your wardrobe impeccably organized. The sunroom is perfect for use as an office. The front bedroom benefits from an amazing bay window extending for nearly the entire width of the room. The half bathroom serves the home as a powder room for guests, and the spa-like full bathroom is very well-appointed with underfloor radiant heating. The latter features an extra-large glass shower enclosure adorned with tile mosaics and is outfitted with a large, ceiling-mounted shower head for a rain-like effect. 

Beginning a few steps above the deck, the expansive backyard is terraced in three distinct levels, making the very most of the east-facing hillside location. With its views over the rooftops, the upper-tier provides a wonderful place for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail, surrounded by water-efficient landscaping of mature cacti, succulents, and other perennials. Gardeners will adore all the opportunities presenting themselves between that highest plateau and the deck below. While this varied backyard is the ideal way to enjoy the sunshine, the whole home literally soaks it up, as well, thanks to rooftop solar panels.

The street level of 646 De Haro houses the two-car garage (with a Tesla charger and an additional 240V car charger), a laundry area, and extensive storage spaces. There too is the main entrance and foyer, which welcomes you and your guests in 1930s period style before you ascend to the living area. It will also put a smile on your face even when you leave home for all the options that are within walking distance like the Jackson Park and Playground or Public Taps at Anchor Brewery.  Nearby are the Design District and Potrero Hill’s two business districts on 17th and 18th Streets, featuring specialty coffee shops and a wide variety of excellent restaurants. When considering travel for work or play, Potrero Hill enjoys excellent freeway access to both 280 and 101, is also close to two Caltrain stops, and has convenient Muni lines to access the rest of San Francisco... Basking in one of the city’s most agreeable microclimates, 646 De Haro Street offers an ideal way of enjoying life in San Francisco.
