The main level is anchored by an expansive great room framed by oversized Fleetwood windows and doors that capture panoramic outlooks and open directly to a view terrace. Venetian plaster walls and ceilings add warmth and texture throughout, while custom built-ins, integrated sound, and refined designer finishes create a home that feels both sophisticated and livable. A separate living room, family room, and built-in dining banquette allow for comfortable everyday living as well as large-scale entertaining.
The kitchen features a full suite of Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in coffeemaker, along with marble countertops and a wine refrigerator.
The upper-level primary suite enjoys expansive park and city views, a large private terrace, dual closets, and a spa-like bathroom with heated Terrazzo floors, heated towel rack, dual vanity, walk-in shower, and its own laundry area.
Three view terraces throughout the home create exceptional indoor/outdoor flow, while the expansive manicured garden offers a rare sense of privacy and scale in the middle of the city.
The lower level guest suite has a private entrance that opens to an en-suite bedroom and family room with access to the manicured garden.
Additional features include air conditioning on the upper bedroom level, solar panels, Nest thermostats, electric window coverings, two laundry areas, and a one-car garage with storage. This home is a rare offering in one of San Francisco’s most exclusive enclaves.
The recent transformation of 447 Buena Vista Ave East was led by acclaimed San Francisco decorative artist and designer Willem Racké, founder of Willem Racké Studio. Originally from New Zealand, Racké began his career in Manhattan before establishing his studio in San Francisco in 1989, where he became known for his refined decorative finishes, Venetian plaster work, murals, and custom cabinetry. Over the past several decades, his work has appeared in some of the Bay Area’s most architecturally significant residences, luxury hospitality spaces, museums, and multiple San Francisco Decorator Showcases. At 447 Buena Vista Ave East, Racké brought his layered understanding of texture, light, and materiality into a full-scale residential reimagining, blending historic Edwardian architecture with striking contemporary design and richly detailed artisanal finishes throughout.
