Striking Facade – The Very Definition of Curb Appeal

Located on one of the best blocks in the Inner Richmond, 739 10th Avenue is the very definition of curb appeal. Built in 1913, the striking facade showcases beautiful Arts and Crafts-era architecture with ornate period details that give it both presence and charm. The prominent central gable is adorned with a fan-shaped relief motif, a hallmark of early 20th-century design, lending the home a sense of grandeur and artistry. Flanking columns and decorative trim highlight the front bay window, while stained-glass accents add vibrant character and authenticity. At street level, the garage is framed by unique quatrefoil-style cutouts, a playful geometric touch that complements the classical lines of the home.

Blending arts and crafts ornamentation with Edwardian-era proportions, the façade feels both stately and inviting. Its intricate details and well-preserved craftsmanship embody the architectural richness of early 1900s San Francisco and gives the home a commanding elegance on the street.

Spacious Living Room Featuring Rich Wood Detailing and a Stunning Stone Fireplace

The spacious living room is anchored by a handsome stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for both gatherings and quiet evenings. More than just a fireplace, this striking centerpiece is a signature element of Arts and Crafts architecture, uniting practicality with artistry. Its substantial stone surround is balanced by refined details, including vertical piers that emphasize craftsmanship and strength, while the arched firebox opening softens the composition with timeless character.

Framing the hearth are built-in shelves and alcoves, accented by decorative lighting, which reflect the period’s devotion to blending function with design. Together, these elements embody the enduring craftsmanship of the early 20th century and ensure the fireplace remains as compelling today as when it was first built.

This welcoming room is further enhanced by hardwood floors, stained-glass windows, and high ceilings, creating a sense of elegance and proportion.

Every element reflects the Arts and Crafts influence that defined San Francisco architecture of the era—built-ins, craftsmanship, and thoughtful integration of design and utility—making this dining room as inviting for intimate meals as it is impressive for formal entertaining.
