Description
Majestic Exquisite Italianate Victorian Villa, 22 Beaver Street San Francisco, California 94114 United States
Set in a Pastoral Landscape, Ornamented on Three Levels, Designed to be Enjoyed from Exotic Gardens
A rare example of Italianate Villa architecture, the Benedict-Gieling House is set in a pastoral landscape hidden in the heart of Duboce Triangle. Originally built by Jacob Benedict, a silver refiner in 1879, this suburban country estate passed to Imogene and John Gieling in 1966, and was designed to be enjoyed with its rare, almost 6,000 square feet of glorious gardens. Located on a quiet street embraced by Buena Vista, Corona Heights, and Duboce Parks, the fully detached home is organized around a gracious central foyer from which grand-scale public rooms emanate: a library, double parlors, formal dining, and a large kitchen, with the majestic stair rising to the bedroom levels.
Exceptional Scale & Impressive Volumes Inform a Classic Floor-plan, with Exceptional Provenance
Original and restored millwork, ornate stained glass, lighting, ceiling medallions, tall windows, and wood flooring are intact, conveying a history of a life well-lived with impressive scale and a classic floorplan.
Continuously Occupied Since the Summer of Love by an Artful & Distinctive Couple: the Quintessential Spirit of San Francisco
Included is an airy, loft-like, guest house with a distinctly Summer-of-Love vibe, with an open plan, hand-hewn stair rail, wide-plank flooring, and a sundeck, plus a long driveway and two-car garage.
This historic residence offers a profound living experience for a city dweller, incorporating history, nature, walkability, and living spaces lovingly crafted by the Gielings over their sixty-year ownership.
