Designed by architectural luminary John Maniscalco, this 3,400-square-foot Dolores Heights residence emphasizes light and space and interacts harmoniously with its surroundings. Its four levels cascade along with the hillside, filling with glorious views and light. Soaring ceilings contribute to a lofty ambience, windows frame unique vistas, and architectural lines direct the eye to new spaces as they unfurl. Richly hued wood and flinty metals create an organic minimalist palette, and built-in storage is abundant, streamlined, and thoughtfully positioned. The main level features living and dining rooms sharing a two-sided gas fireplace; a chef's kitchen with Caesarstone counters, an island with counter seating, and Viking appliances; and a comfortable gathering area with built-in seating and a discreetly concealed entertainment center. A wall of glass here disappears, creating a seamless flow between the indoors and an idyllic garden. Atop a skylit stairway are three bedrooms, each with a balcony and a view. On the uppermost level, a retractable skylight opens to an enviable roof deck with a panorama of the city's skyline and landmarks. On the lower level there is a guest suite or family room and the home is completed by a two-car side-by-side garage with storage.
