This exquisite French Mediterranean view home built in 1922 is nestled on a prime block in the heart of the neighborhood, close to West Portal Village! A beautiful garden entrance with sweeping lush lawn, mature robellini palm trees, blooming hydrangeas and an inviting walkway with lovely brick staircase leads to a wonderful portico entry with fifteen-pane beveled-glass front door and into a gracious foyer with original telephone alcove and convenient coat closet. The magnificent formal living room with gorgeous coved and recessed ceiling boasts a gas fireplace with period tile surround and mantel, handsome built-in bookcases, attractive light fixtures, classic moldings, gleaming hardwood floors and picture windows with delightful views of the Pacific Ocean. The banquet-size formal dining room with French doors, exotic wood paneling, large bay window and striking chandelier is perfect for entertaining! 

The tastefully designed gourmet kitchen with adjacent breakfast room, built-in china hutch and separate pantry area with refrigerator showcases stainless-steel appliances including a Frigidaire Gallery five-burner gas rangetop with hood, separate GE oven, microwave and dishwasher, tile counters, designer-color painted wood cabinets and a rolling work island. A split-level staircase leads to the upstairs landing with hallway, linen closet and the home's private living quarters which consist of three spacious bedrooms - the master with bay window and views to the garden - and a huge vintage tile full bath with pedestal sink, snazzy medicine cabinet, cast-iron tub and a separate walk-in shower.
