Across from Buena Vista Park and two blocks from Corona Heights Park, the three-bedroom Upper Haight residence sits within walking distance to a myriad of eateries and shops.

Custom built in 2000 by SF's Mark English Architects, the three-story home takes advantage of its height and perch with multiple large decks for viewing sights including Sutro Tower, but with many luxurious amenities—think radiant heated floors and a built-in sound system—there's also plenty to enjoy inside the modern sanctuary.

An exposed steel I-beam structural frame allows for minimal interior walls and a flowing floor plan. Down a flight of steps from the main entry, the great room for living and dining has concrete floors, a gas fireplace, and a three-story glass wall that opens to an ipe wood patio and garden.

In the kitchen, chefs will appreciate Gaggenau appliances, a stainless steel breakfast bar and island, and built-in storage. Hope you like blue! A powder room and laundry room complete this first level.

Upstairs, a walkway overlooks the great room. Here, two bedrooms each have built-in storage and share a blue-tiled bathroom with a standalone soaking tub and large shower.

The family or media room sits on the third floor with Twin Peaks as a backdrop. The crown jewel here is the primary suite with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over live oak trees, SF Bay, Mount Diablo, and downtown. It's a thoughtfully designed space, with more built-ins; a custom headboard and bed frame; and a walk-in closet. There's more blue in the en-suite bathroom which has a jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower.

Additional amenities include a side-by-side two-car garage with a workbench; Nest thermostats; automatic shades; and a rooftop deck with panoramic views.
