Golden Gate Heights Stunner: Rebuilt, Expanded with Views for Miles

Set on one of Golden Gate Heights’ most sought-after streets, 1990 16th Avenue is a fully detached, light-filled home with views stretching for miles across Golden Gate Park and out to the ocean. Rebuilt and expanded in a down-to-the-studs remodel completed in 2023, the home offers 3,035 square feet (per draftsman), 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It’s designed for how people really live, with two living rooms, one for formal entertaining and one for cozy nights in, plus incredible storage and a side-by-side 2-car garage. Then come the extras, like a home gym, a steam shower, and a four-person barrel sauna, so every day can feel like a spa day.

The living room anchors the main level with sweeping views, while exposed structural white oak beams and a gas fireplace add rich warmth. From here, the space flows into a dedicated dining room and on to the kitchen, the home’s showpiece. Honed Taj Mahal quartzite and a handmade Heath Ceramics backsplash set a natural, tactile palette, while a full Thermador suite, including a 6-burner range with griddle, steam oven, and warming drawer, handles everything from weeknight dinners to a full house. A center island and a peninsula with bar seating give everyone a place to gather, and a walk-in pantry keeps it all organized.

The primary suite is a true retreat, with motorized shades and an oversized custom walk-in closet. The bath is the standout, with radiant heated floors, dual Icera sinks, and a retractable skylight. A Victoria + Albert freestanding soaking tub sits inside the fully enclosed Valentino Dolomite steam shower, finished with Brizo Luxe Gold rain fixtures.

Three additional bedrooms, two renovated baths with Brizo Jason Wu fixtures, a powder room, and a laundry room complete the home. European oak floors, new double-pane windows, and Shade Store window coverings run throughout, and skylights, August smart locks, and built-in speakers on the main level add the finishing touches.

Stairs from the kitchen lead down to the rear patio with covered seating. The sauna and a fire pit make it as inviting on a foggy morning as it is after dark.

Grand View Park and the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps are a few blocks away, and Golden Gate Park, the Inner Sunset, and West Portal are all within easy reach. The L Taraval runs downtown, and direct access to 19th Avenue and 280 makes SFO and the Peninsula a quick drive. It’s the full package, with views that never get old and sunsets over the ocean.
