Privacy and symmetry in Hayes Valley

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character. Description: A remodeled kitchen with Viking stove, banks of picture windows and inviting public rooms highlight this three-bedroom home in the Hayes Valley neighborhood. The attached row house is on a tree-lined street and features a symmetrical, stucco facade with picture windows. Hardwood floors cover both levels and the living room has alcoves beside a gas and wood-burning fireplace with tile surround. A hardscaped backyard with tall fences sits beyond a dining room and open kitchen with slate floors, and the master suite includes a private deck. Despite being attached on both sides, natural light pours into the two-level contemporary through picture windows and skylights above the stairwell.
