Newburg Street in Noe Valley is one of those favorite hidden-gem streets. It has a certain caché and charm that some streets just seem to have. Perched slightly above the super busy part of Noe Valley, it has wonderful city outlooks and a sense of privacy… yet moments from the heart of Noe… a neighborhood within a neighborhood.

The ultra-slick and contemporary dark facade foreshadows the updated modern interior. The clean lines and lack of fussiness of the 1940’s architectural period was the ideal canvas for the recent 21st-century makeover.

The main level’s open floor plan takes perfect advantage of the public space. The newly renovated kitchen sports polished concrete counters, updated cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a skylight. It effortlessly segues to the large dining area. The light-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful oak flooring completes the public space. This configuration is perfect for lazy weekend days and cozy evenings but also the perfect setup for entertaining friends.

Two generous-sized bedrooms are at the rear of this level. They both walk out, through French doors, to a lovely upper floor deck perched over the bucolic garden. The full bath on this level is modern with a spa-like tub/shower and benefits from a huge skylight.

On the lower level is a grand primary suite. With room for a sitting area and a wall of windows and doors overlooking the tranquil garden, this is a lovely retreat. A contemporary en-suite bathroom has a gracious walk-in shower.

The attached one-car garage has an abundance of storage and a convenient area for laundry.

Perhaps the pièce de résistance is the wonderfully serene garden. Punctuated by a modern deck, it is surrounded by mature trees and greenery. Views of downtown in the distance only accentuate the dichotomy of this location; a world away from everything… yet close to it all
