2090 Vallejo St

About

Welcome to 2090 Vallejo Street, rising with quiet grandeur in Pacific Heights; this stately Georgian residence with breathtaking views is a rare expression of architectural scale, European artistry, and enduring San Francisco elegance. Set on an extra-wide lot with an impressive 50-foot frontage, the home is detached on all four sides, allowing natural light to move freely through its expansive interiors. Built in 1919, the residence is the only known San Francisco work of architect Clarence A. Tantau. Its dignified brick faade and classical columns introduce interiors of extraordinary texture, where hand-carved paneling, elaborate plasterwork, intricate moldings, decorative metalwork, and five fireplaces reveal a level of craftsmanship seldom encountered today. The formal rooms are grand yet inviting. A sweeping elliptical staircase with a delicately leafed balustrade rises from the soaring entrance hall. At the same time the dining room, adorned with sculptural plasterwork and four sets of French doors, offers an unforgettable setting for gatherings. In the living room, acanthus-leaf moldings, built-in cabinetry, a marble fireplace, and expansive Bay views create a refined backdrop for both celebration and everyday life. Across four levels, the residence offers six bedrooms, gracious gathering spaces, and exceptional flexibility for family and guests. The full-width primary suite enjoys a luxurious view bathroom, two walk-in closets, a sitting area, and a private terrace overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, Alcatraz, and Russian Hill. Above is a dramatic pent-room with cathedral ceilings and glass doors that capture sweeping views across the city and Bay. An elevator connects every level, while a separate guest suite, wine cellar, secondary staircase, three-car garage, and private driveway support the ease of modern living. Outdoor space offers room for play, gardening, or quiet retreat, an uncommon sense of privacy in the heart of the city. Monumental in scale yet intimate in spirit, this is a home created to be lived in, gathered in, and passed from one generation to the next. With its singular architectural pedigree, exquisite ornamentation, and commanding San Francisco views, it represents one of Pacific Heights' most distinctive legacy residences.
