A Sea Cliff Classic on a Wide Corner Lot


Offered at $6,500,000

Welcome to one of San Francisco's most iconic, beloved neighborhoods: Sea Cliff. Once inside the gates, Sea Cliff is framed by the Pacific Ocean, China Beach, Baker Beach, and Lands End, this is a location where the ocean sets the pace and the views do the rest.

201 Sea Cliff Avenue sits prominently on a wide, corner lot on one of the neighborhood's signature streets: a 1952 midcentury home of thoughtfully proportioned living space, and one that has not come to market in over 60 years.

The clean architectural lines carry a quiet elegance, and the large picture windows and glass doors frame the surrounding homes, the shifting sky, and the lush landscape beyond. Step inside to a sunken living room anchored by a fireplace, a formal dining room built for real entertaining, and a family room with a wet bar made for the long evenings that turn a house into a home. With 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the home welcomes family and friends alike into gracious, generously sized rooms, and its layout lets everyday life feel a little more special. A two-car garage and a self-contained au pair suite add flexibility few homes at this scale can offer. Natural light fills every room, and two separate outdoor areas extend the living space further; from select vantage points, peek-a-boo views of the Golden Gate remind you exactly where you are.

This is a home that has been loved and lived in for decades.. Its midcentury bones are sound, its scale is rare, and it's ready for someone to make it their own.

Sea Cliff is like no other neighborhood in San Francisco: quiet, established, just blocks from the Presidio's trails, China Beach, Baker Beach, and the bridge itself. Homes like this don't come up often, and when they do, they tend to set the course for the next twenty or thirty years of whoever calls it home. 201 Sea Cliff Avenue is properly positioned to let you enjoy all of it.
