Exemplifying the classical charm of the American Shingle-style residence, this handsome home sits on the verge of the Presidio. A brick walkway leads to an atrium-like entry porch with a built-in bench and wonderful light. Beyond a vintage oak door, the roomy foyer flows to all the public spaces. Chic and airy, the generous living room has windows on two sides and features a fireplace, a window seat, and built-in bookshelves. Nearby are a windowed bar area and a powder room. The formal dining area encourages entertaining with its built-in buffet, warming fireplace, and plentiful windows. The delightful kitchen features a farm-style sink, a six-burner Wolf cooktop with a griddle and a pot filler, a stainless-steel refrigerator, wall ovens, and a sunny breakfast banquette. Adjoining the dining room and kitchen is a pantry with a sink, marble countertops, and glass-front cabinets. Stairs lead from the kitchen to a secluded dining patio and a private wisteria-embraced lawn and garden. 

Stairs with a colorful stained-glass window lead to the second level, where the master suite includes a spacious bedroom with its own fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a glass-enclosed shower and dual vanities. Two guest bedrooms share a timelessly detailed bath. Completing the bedroom level are an office with a brick fireplace, walls of built-ins, a convenient wet bar, and a decorative leaded-glass window; a window-wrapped sitting room filled with light; and a laundry area with storage, a sink, and classic wainscoting. 

Two additional bedrooms and a lovely bath are located on the uppermost level; one accesses a deck with built-in seating and views of rooftops and hilltops. The highlight of this floor is a family room with a pitched beamed ceiling, bookshelves, a projector and retractable screen, and built-in table for dining or card games. The windowed basement includes workspace with a sink, room for auxiliary appliances, abundant storage, and two car parking with interior access. 

60 Arguello Blvd is positioned on a wide block in Presidio Heights within a short walk of the Presidio National Park, the Presidio Golf Course, the Presidio Wall Playground, Laurel Village, the restaurants and boutiques along Sacramento St, and the farmer’s market along Clement St.
