Grand Presidio Terrace Estate with Historic Elegance
Welcome to 38 Presidio Terrace, a stately and elegant residence situated on one of San Francisco’s most prestigious addresses. Presidio Terrace is not merely a neighborhood — it is a private, gated residential park of unmatched beauty and significance. Conceived in the early 20th century as a “garden city” retreat within the heart of San Francisco, Presidio Terrace is celebrated for its lush, tree-lined setting, wide lots, and architecturally distinguished homes.
Set on an expansive 13,788 sq. ft. lot, this grand home offers 5,850 sq. ft. of living space with timeless architectural details and generous proportions throughout. The property embodies the grace and refinement envisioned by the neighborhood’s founders — a rare combination of privacy, space, and architectural pedigree in the city.
Inside, the home’s four bedrooms, all on one level, provide comfort and convenience, while original woodwork and exquisite craftsmanship add warmth and character. Expansive living and dining rooms flow seamlessly for entertaining, complemented by soaring ceilings, carved wood columns, and period detailing.
The kitchen and baths offer opportunities for modern updates while preserving the home’s historic elegance. A gracious primary suite anchors the bedroom wing, while oversized windows bathe the home in natural light.
The lower level spans the full footprint of the home and is ready for expansion — offering limitless potential for a guest suite, media room, gym, or wine cellar.
Outside, beautifully landscaped grounds frame the residence, with a sweeping front entry staircase, manicured gardens, and mature trees creating a sense of arrival.
Presidio Terrace remains one of San Francisco’s most coveted addresses — a serene sanctuary with proximity to the Presidio, fine schools, and the cultural and culinary treasures of the city.
38 Presidio Terrace is a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Francisco’s architectural and cultural heritage — a grand home in an incomparable setting.
