Two architectural gems share half-acre lot in Upper Rockridge

Twice a week, The Chronicle features a home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character.

Professional-grade Wolf appliances outfit a kitchen anchored by a butcher-block island, and a dining patio features a wood-burning pizza oven.

Two homes occupy the gated, half-acre lot with a pool and landscaped gardens.

The main home has plaster walls, arched entryways, sconces and wrought-iron accents.

The formal dining room has impressive scale, and the family room shares an open floor plan with the kitchen.

A soaking tub and walk-in shower are found in the top-floor master suite, which opens to a balcony.

Tiled stair risers complement the staircase’s iron railing and dark steps, and the floors are made of the wood from bleachers from San Francisco’s Seals Stadium.
