It’s not one of San Francisco’s famous Victorian-era Painted Ladies that face Alamo Square, but a fashionably refurbished circa 1910 abode from the early 20th century in the city’s Noe Valley neighborhood is pretty in pale pink on the outside with a vibrant array of color inside.
The home’s colorful renovation is courtesy of the Douglas Burnham at Berkeley’s Envelope A+D and the Marin County-based design firm Office of Charles de Lisle. The six-bedroom jewel box of a home unfolds over five levels atop a street-level two-car garage, with numerous outdoor spaces that allow you to take in the views from the home’s high hillside perch. Alexander Fromm Lurie at City Real Estate holds the listing.
The main level sits a couple of floors above the street and draws inspiration from classic midcentury-modern design, with natural grasscloth wallcoverings wrapping the living and dining rooms. A glazed Zellige tile backsplash and matching island cabinetry add a sense of serenity to the chef’s kitchen, which also sports Absolute Black granite countertops and appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Viking. The island cabinetry’s mint color is mirrored in the adjacent dining room, where coffered jib doors camouflage a dry bar with funky wallpaper and a small desk space with additional shelving and storage. A large deck enveloped in mature plantings is just outside and keeps the party going with plenty of room for a grill and alfresco dining.
A ombré-painted stairwell and an elevator connect the main floor to the upper levels, where you’ll find casual spaces for relaxing as well as the sleeping quarters. Four bedrooms are spread across one of the floors, while the primary suite sits on the top level. The latter is accompanied by an ample walk-in closet, an adjacent home office, and a family lounge. In total, the home encompasses six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Casual lounge spaces and outdoor balconies are sprinkled throughout.

Most bedrooms have a built-in window seat with a thick cushion, and one of them spills onto a sizable turfed terrace. Indeed, the urban residence maximizes outdoor space with several upper-level balconies, plus a spacious roof deck with northern views that sweep over the city from Sutro Tower to the tips of the downtown skyline. A photovoltaic solar array connected to the grid and standing seam metal roof combines sustainability with long-lansting materials.
San Francisco’s steep hills and deep valleys are filled with historic and similarly unique residences, including a converted firehouse, also in Noe Valley; a live-work residence in SoMa; and a sleek townhouse in the shadow of Coit Tower.
