In the heart of Noe Valley, a stunning home transformation has caught the eye of local real estate enthusiasts. What started as a modest 1,000-square-foot property built in 1910 has been meticulously reimagined into a five-bedroom, five-bathroom marvel that screams luxury and innovation.

The homeowners, who purchased the property in 2018 for $5 million, embarked on an 18-month renovation that would make even the most discerning design lovers swoon. Their secret weapon? Acclaimed interior designer Charles de Lisle, an Architectural Digest Top 100 pick who helped elevate the space from basic to breathtaking.

The home’s most jaw-dropping feature might be the hidden cocktail bar tucked behind custom lacquered wood doors in the kitchen. With mint green built-ins, strategically placed wine bottle shelves, and a chic yellow and blue backsplash, it’s the ultimate entertainer’s dream. Even practical details haven’t been overlooked – the kitchen boasts hidden charging ports inside cabinets to keep tech clutter at bay.

Beyond the kitchen, the renovation includes a skylit stairwell featuring a dramatic structural redesign and originally adorned with artwork by local San Francisco artist Jenny Sharaf. The owners loved the stairwell so much that they’re planning to take the design concept with them to their next home.

With five levels of carefully curated spaces, including an arts and crafts room and an elevator connecting the three-car garage to the fifth-floor roof terrace, this property represents more than just a home – it’s a testament to creative urban living. The finishes, including custom cabinetry, Absolute Black granite countertops, and a cedar-plank deck, are so high-end that real estate agent Alexander Lurie suggests they’re more typical of a $20 million property.

Currently listed at $7.5 million, the home remains the most expensive active listing in Noe Valley – a neighborhood where homes rarely breach the $7 million mark. For the owners, the sale represents a practical move: with teenagers in high school, they need to adjust their living situation to accommodate new school commutes.

This home isn’t just a property; it’s a love letter to thoughtful design, local craftsmanship, and the ever-evolving landscape of San Francisco living.
