This won't be the usual real estate marketing text, so please bear with me. This area of San Francisco is where my husband and I first landed in the early 1990s, after growing up in the East Bay. It's where I first fled the suburbs, when I got my driver's license at 16 years old. It's where I promised myself I would set down roots, and it's definitely where I left my heart.

So, to introduce 734 Bay Street to the world means a lot to me. It's rare that a piece of history like this - a unique compound in a magical setting - comes on the market.

Tucked beyond an unassuming private entrance, your eyes will widen as you start to take in this hidden treasure. Be welcomed into this sanctuary by a sun-soaked front garden, and head into the first residence of the two-unit building. The lower home includes two levels of luxurious living, with a reverse floor plan designed to capture the Bay views from the main living area. The upper level of this unit features a wonderful open floor plan, with a stunning kitchen situated at its heart. This level includes an open living and dining area, full bath, a walk-out balcony overlooking the Bay, and a front deck awash in south-facing sunshine. Retreat down the steps to the lower level, which includes two spacious bedrooms, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like full bath. There is direct access from this level to the front and rear garden.
