About This Home

3940 Clay Street

Exceptional Presidio Heights duplex rich in architectural history and made for gracious San Francisco living. Built in 1908 by noted Swedish-born architect, August Nordin, this special property has been cherished and fabulously maintained by its artist-owner. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, stained and beveled glass, original millwork, wood-burning fireplaces, a lush garden, spectacular rooftop deck, and two-car garage parking are just the beginning. The expansive owner's residence occupies the top two levels with wonderful scale and natural light. An elegant foyer opens to a grand dining room and lavish living room with fireplace and southern hill and city views. The airy eat-in kitchen features quartz counters, stone tile floors, stainless steel appliances, gas range, and a charming center garden patio. Two bright bedrooms overlooking the garden and a remodeled bath complete this level. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, a built-in window seat and full bath with jetted tub. An intimate second living livingroom area has west-facing outlooks toward the Pacific Ocean and peaceful Temple Emanu-El and opens to an extraordinary rooftop deck with expansive views. A spectacular setting for morning coffee, outdoor workouts, gardening, entertaining, and evening cocktails above the city. The lower residence echos the same footprint as above. A spacious living room and dining room, two bedrooms, a full bath, separate water closet, and a kitchen with outdoor access. An additional flexible lower-level live/work unit, workshop area, and two-car garage add exceptional versatility. The Presidio is practically at your doorstep, with Laurel Village, Sacramento Street and Clement Street nearby for shopping, dining and neighborhood favorites. Downtown, the beaches, Golden Gate Bridge and Marin are all within easy reach. Architectural pedigree, a spectacular rooftop deck, parking, ideal location, rental income, and a remarkable owner's residence, all in the heart of Presidio Heights. *Additional photos, videos, floor plans and property info. are available through virtual media.
