On the outside, this handsome brick manor home in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco looks much as it must have when it was designed by architect Albert Sutton in 1902 (although according to this article it did have an addition in 1937), Inside however, it seems to have left the past far behind. This due to a series of major interior revisions. The five-bedroom home has lovely views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay. The spaces are large and impressive. The master suite is sunsplashed and delightful, the gourmet kitchen is all one could wish for and the music room/library is up to date. Flawless. And yet, and yet, it just seems too pulled together. An older home often has eccentricities that show its age and yet make it all the richer and more beloved to its owners. You could see this home as the best of the old and the new or as a lady whose has had a bit too much work done and looks a bit altered. This home is listed at $11 million. After the jump, charming or charmectomy?
