Light-Filled Garden Home in Prime Pacific Heights
Location: 2513 Broadway
Price: $5,995,000
Lot Size: Approx. 28’ x 137.5’ (3,850 sq.ft.)
Sq. Footage: Approx. 4,035 sq.ft.
Year Built: 1889
Summary:
This inviting, fully detached 3+BD/3.5BA garden home is nestled on a prized block of Broadway, with sunlit interiors and thoughtfully landscaped outdoor spaces—featuring citrus trees and a gently terraced limestone patio—on an extraordinary 28-foot-wide by 137.5-foot-deep lot. The home was designed by the noted historic firm of Percy and Hamilton. Transitional in style, the main level features a formal living room with fireplace, elegant dining room opening to a limestone patio and citrus garden, a renovated Pedini kitchen with all Miele appliances, a charming breakfast nook, a cozy library, and a half bath. A gracefully scaled staircase, punctuated by playful finials, leads to the upper level with a light-filled primary suite enjoying bay views and an en suite marble bath. Additional rooms include a bedroom with an adjoining garden-view sunroom, and a spacious family room—also with a sunroom, fireplace, wet bar, and verdant views—that can be easily converted into a third bedroom on the second floor. The top floor offers a flexible fourth bedroom or family room, full bath, and sunny garden-view deck. The landscaped, terraced patio is anchored by a nearly 200-year-old limestone folly—once a window from a French chateau. Two-car garage with double curb cut. Located near top schools, Alta Plaza Park, and shops on Fillmore & Union.
Entry and Main Level
A gracious English entry introduces the home, with leaded and stained-glass windows, a built-in window seat, and a coat closet. A few steps above, a landing is illuminated by a stunning triptych of leaded glass windows. To the left, a graceful limestone archway opens to the formal living room where the limestone fireplace mantel and hearth echo the archway and is complemented by the rich hardwood floors and recessed lighting that continue throughout most of the residence. Opposite the living room, the elegant formal dining room is bathed in natural light from west-facing leaded glass transoms and south-facing French doors that open to sunlit limestone patios and a citrus garden. Adjacent is the impeccably renovated Pedini kitchen, showcasing sleek ‘total white’ lacquered cabinetry paired with honed black granite countertops. Top-tier appliances include a Miele gas cooktop, hood, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and separate freezer drawers. Surrounded by windows on three sides, the kitchen is a cheerful, light-filled space. A cozy breakfast nook opens via French doors to the patio—perfect for al fresco dining—with a discreetly tucked-away pantry nearby. A water closet is conveniently located just outside the kitchen, and a sunny laundry room lies beyond. Completing the main level is a charming library with full-height, custom built-in bookcases and an east-facing window.
Second Level
A beautifully scaled staircase, with wide treads and low risers, leads gracefully to the private quarters, its wooden banister punctuated by playful finials. The principal suite, situated at the front of the home, is a serene retreat with a built-in window seat and lovely Bay views. Natural light pours in from three sides. The en suite bath is appointed with Crema Marfil marble, a porcelain sink, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.
The second bedroom, with western exposure, opens to a delightful sunroom overlooking the lush gardens. Across the hallway is a full bathroom with a jetted tub. At the rear of this level is a spacious family room (or potential bedroom) with a fireplace, wet bar, and garden views from windows on both the east and west. An adjoining sunroom, with charming, mullioned windows on three sides, offers an inspiring space for work or relaxation with expansive garden views.
Third Level
A spiral staircase ascends to the top floor, which features a dramatic pitched ceiling and is currently shown as a bedroom or optional family room. Two French doors open to the adjacent garden-view deck, which enjoys sunny southern exposure. A full bath with Bay views completes this level.
Garden
The large south-facing garden is a true sanctuary. A tall holly hedge lends coveted seclusion to the garden, while its bright red berries attract songbirds. Orange and lemon trees line the east and west borders, flourishing in the sunny, sheltered microclimate. A gently tiered limestone and terracotta patio leads to a dramatic focal point: a nearly 200-year-old limestone arch, once a window from a French chateau—now a captivating garden folly.

Ideally situated on prime Broadway between Scott and Pierce Streets, this residence enjoys a prestigious address in the heart of Pacific Heights—one of San Francisco’s most sought-after neighborhoods. With a Walk Score® of 91, this coveted enclave is deemed “A Walker’s Paradise,” where daily errands rarely require a car. Within just a few blocks are many of the city’s top private schools, along with the upscale boutiques, cafés, and restaurants of both Fillmore and Union Streets. Just two blocks away, Alta Plaza Park offers a newly updated children’s playground, tennis courts, and dog runs.
Pacific Heights is widely regarded as one of the most scenically advantaged residential locations in the world. To the west lies the Presidio, a tranquil forest of pine, cypress, and eucalyptus trees planted in the 1880s by the U.S. Army. To the north, Crissy Field—once a salt marsh, now a thriving wildlife sanctuary—leads to the glistening bay, with the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands just beyond. All are protected sites within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, one of the largest urban national parks in existence.
