The eastern facing facade is classic Charles Hinkel design with colors by Shannon Kaye.
Two stories over the basement/garage. Rebuilt front stairs welcome you home after a long day. This Hinkel home is situated in a row of 7.
Welcome to 720 Castro Street. An updated gem of Victorian aestethic and craftsmanship.
The bright and inviting living room catches the morning sun. The formal foyer through the door. Windows are double paned, and energy efficient.
The double doors are glass paned, and lead to the formal dining room.
The trim detail has been expanded upon with a more recent addition of the custom-made hutch, the window seat, and storage hidden under and behind the baseboard.
The formal dining room carries the design aesthetic from the living room.
The fireplace, so central a theme to family and home, is surrounded with a beautiful original mantel.
Another surprise- all this outdoor space! Dining al fresco on the new deck, catching some sun, potting projects, grilling and entertaining. So versatile and useful, it adds to the livable space and function of the home.
A stainless steel trash compactor is situated to the left of the double wide s/s sink with high clearance faucet and spray attachment.
The range is dual fueled with gas cooktop and electric oven for more even cooking. Above is the convection/microwave.
Clean command post- with trash compactor on the left, double sink in the middle and the dishwasher on the right, it makes clean up quick and efficient.
A multi-purpose room: can be used as a family room, a sun room, a breakfast or informal dining area.
The sun room/breakfast nook (with pet door) is light and bright and leads to the beautiful outdoors.
The deck is large enough and can host big gatherings easily.
Read a book reclining in a lawn chair or hammock. Enjoy the sun, the birds, the gently hum of the city around you.
Into the woods we go...the path meanders through a lush canopy of mature plantings and trees. Hard to believe you're still in the city!
A truly magical place to let your thoughts go, get your hands in the soil, enjoy the dappled sun on a warm day.
A wide array of plants, shrubs and trees create a lush and nearly tropical setting in the fenced rear yard.
The rear of the home is quite handsome, and has development potential as compared to the neighboring homes.
Back inside and upstairs to the second level...
The second of three bedrooms upstairs with wood floors, period detail, a large built in closet and enjoys a view of the lush back yard.
At the top of the stairs you'll find the shared full bath complete with transom windows, claw foot soaking tube and period detail.
The third of three bedrooms on the upper level: gleaming wood floors, and views to the lush back yard.
The master suite is large and bright as the sun rises.
The master suite. Views of the iconic San Francisco Victorians across the street with the modern city and Bay as the backdrop. There is a steam-spa bath in the left corner.
De-stress after a hard day at the office; the master suite bath has radiant floor heat, a steam spa shower enclosure to sooth your nerves and relieve aches and pains, and includes an electronic washlet toilet seat.
The downtown view as seen from the living room and upstairs master bedroom.
