Four years in the making, Noe Looking Glass is truly a unique home and a special addition to the prestigious Laidley Heights neighborhood. Noe Looking Glass is full of distinctive qualities, all crafted and developed with the singular goal of creating a warm, welcoming home. A home for entertaining and gathering those close to you. A home for relaxing. A home with great social flow. A home for life.

Renowned firm Winder Gibson Architects has created a brand new, ground-up fully detached home; a rare find in San Francisco. Taking full advantage of the special oversized 40’ lot, this home affords the kind of space, flow and views not possible on a conventional San Francisco parcel. The primary living spaces on the top floor (with direct elevator access from the garage) open up to panoramic 270 degree views spanning from Sutro Tower across the full expanse of downtown, the Bay Bridge, Mount Diablo, the blue water of the Bay to Bernal Hill and beyond. The view is a visceral experience as you turn your body to take it all in and one that unfolds across time, watching the subtle changes in light and sky throughout the day. This is a view unlike any other and all the more surprising because the neighborhood is so walkable.

A 15’ long marble island connects the kitchen to dining and living, looking out across the city. Locally crafted face frame cabinets bring elegance to this contemporary space. A butler’s pantry with ample cabinetry, marble counters and outlets closes with a pocket door, ensuring the mess is always out of sight. The home features two outdoor kitchens. This is a home design by an architect who actually loves to cook.

Indoor/Outdoor living is one of the great pleasures of the California lifestyle. Noe Looking Glass seamlessly opens and closes with massive floor to ceiling doors and walk-out terraces at every level as well as a level yard connected directly to the family room. The outdoors is invited in by extending materials such as the beautiful cedar siding and sophisticated patterned tile through from outside to inside, blurring the boundary between the two. Light suffuses the home at every turn, made possible because the building is fully-detached.

The 40’ wide lot also affords 4 bedrooms all on one level, almost never possible in San Francisco. The bedroom level features a luxurious master suite with views, a generous walk-in closet and spa-worthy bathroom. With dual hidden pocket doors, the children’s wing can be closed off for sound and privacy and includes three bedrooms with two bathrooms just steps away from the master suite.

At the ground floor, you will find a large and private guest suite as well as a dedicated office; a total of 5 true bedrooms, 4.5 baths + an office. The mudroom has cubbies for the whole family to keep day-to-day life organized. A massive family room opens to the level rear yard and includes a fireplace and large entertainment center with high-end tile and finishes. The garage can fit 3 cars with plenty of room for storage and additional cars can park in the driveway.

Thoughtful details are found at every turn in this LEED designed home including radiant heating, solar panels, high-end thermally broken windows and doors, recirculating hot water, zero voc paints and materials, drought tolerant landscaping, LED lighting and more. Easy to use smart-home features include a comprehensive wifi system, Homeworks lighting control, Doorbird intercom and door release, wifi enabled garage door, Sonos audio with in-wall iPads and apps for control.

Unique, thoughtful, warm and livable with astounding panoramic views, Noe Looking Glass is not to be missed.
