House of Peace

This Golden Gate Avenue home pairs a distinctive Victorian exterior with creative decor and modern luxury. Wooden stairs lead up to the arched entry, opening to lush carpet, mirrors and a hallway chandelier. Shining fixtures, flourishing plants and stylish touches light up the kitchen and comfortable living room, with historic homes, museums, huge parks, and diverse neighborhoods nearby. As morning dawns at the House of Peace, sip a reviving tea or coffee in the ornamental garden, as a stone water feature softly burbles. Step into the welcoming home, and relax on comfortable sofas and couches that dot the lower level as other guests arise. Easily plan a day trip encompassing famous city sights over breakfast in the colorfully-decorated kitchen, as pristine, marble-lined bathrooms and the quiet retreat of the home’s study ensure every guest need is met. The sheer character of the home ensures that evenings spent relaxing on the easy couches, or at the fireside dining table are always enjoyable. From the steps of this home, guests can visit attractions in both the immediate locality and easily-accessible greater city. Take a short stroll to admire the Painted Ladies housing row, before taking in the fresh air, towering Coast Redwoods, and lush expanses of the Golden Gate park. A short walk to Haight-Ashbury reveals the city’s unique urban heritage and diverse world cuisine.
